The Life of an Installation.
We tend to disregard everything we don’t consider the finished product.
The “chaos” of our lives,
we tell ourselves it is something we need to avoid
or push away.
We compartmentalize
and simplify
and limit down what we do
until it fits into what we think others expect.
Often in doing so we remember only our end result
and not the experiences that lead up to that finish.
The “chaos” we are trying to avoid is left behind
and forgotten.
That process of reaching the end
is life…
It is beautiful,
complex,
and difficult.
When we lack the courage to show our own chaos, which makes us truly unique,
we disregard our own ability to be creative
in favor of a desire for safety.
Twelve hours of installation and tear down condensed into six minutes of video. This is the life of an installation.
