I always get excited when people revive places using their own ideas and turning them into something that we never seen before. Grandiose ideas. And everything is born again and exist beautifully in different way.

Even it is well known that the most challenging search was always searching for another person to make us complete. Understandable, 1 instead 2, its just 1. Longing begins here. But,I will tell you, you should not be afraid, because solitude, solitude, can be way too exciting. And there is something, there is one trick which can in the same time face you with your own solitude –and make you deep traveler of the space and time. You see, no questions left, excitement, pure excitement …

 We, artists are inventors of the new ideas who are always putting their own soul at risk. Arent you excited to know what is behind artistic process, which is done with so much sacrifice?

Well, you dont have to question your solitude, while there is always few voices more in your head. Embrace them all! Literally speaking, 1 is not just 1, if you understand me.

All the eqipment which will serve you on your way is in this big box. Beside the most important one, that is within you. It should not be hidden at all.

Curiosity to tell the story, using this place as background image, was not based on the facts from the past. Indeed, my desire to build the story which is already living in the future, was even more powerful. Let’s not get confused, in the same time, writing the story about this photo means- writing a story about me. You will recognize me from the small intimate details that I choose in order to decorate your space and time. I know, you will think – this is perfect place for belonging.

 I don’t remember all the colors, but I can imagine it all from the scratch… For all of us who are not satisfied with getting lost in ‘Elysées of words’ – I have prepared visual elements which doesnt have to follow directly our story but still visuals are helping our story coming to life. While the viewer is watching the image, he always have the chance to imagine things differently.I dare you to dream!

Where would I set up this building in my head, in which date and time of the year, and will there be any music? Main question is – how to make all objects in story movable, that they can exist perfectly on their own and in the same time as part of the group. Even in real life this experiment fails, but we succeed every time. Yes, in the arts we succeed. Before reaching excitement, its important to learn difference from work and creation. I had never perform work – I always create, says the artist.

I’ve take you through all areas of my imagination and finally I beautifully stole this place giving it different meaning. Future postcard of this place is already watermarked by my remembering how I dance for the space. Oh, how I dance. Excitement, pure excitement, no questions left. In this process, when you dont know where you will end up, you must believe that on last station of yours – your secret weapon will save your life. So much trust we put in one experiment, sound silly I know!
