—Pascal QuignardIl y a trois nuits. Avant la naissance ce fut la nuit. C´est la nuit utérine. Une fois nés, au terme de chaque jour, c´est la nuit terrestre. Nous tombons de sommeil au sein d´elle. Comme le trou de la fascination absorbe, l´obscurité astrale engloutit en nous rêvons en elle. Et si c´est par la nuit qui est en nous, interne, que nous nous parlons, c´est dans la nuit externe, quotidienne, qui semble à nos yeux venir du ciel, que nous nous touchons.
—Cuenta la historia como si sólo fuera de interés para el pequeño círculo de tus personajes, pensando en que podrías ser uno de ellos

I got the idea for this piece because there are problems about communication with people. I feel this is always my struggle. So I wanted to do one piece about human beings and their struggle in life with each other. I find being tied together is a very clear idea, because I feel that to survive we’re all tied up. We cannot go in life alone, without people. Because everybody is individual we each have our own idea of something we want to do. But we’re together. So we become each other’s cage. We struggle because everybody wants to feel freedom. We don’t touch, and this helps us to be conscious that this relationship connects individuals, but the individuals are independent. We are not a couple, but two separate people. So this piece to me is a symbol of life and human struggle. And why one year’s time? Because then this has real experience of time and life. To do work one week or two weeks, I feel that it may become like just doing a performance. But I do it one year and then the piece becomes art and life—it’s real connection and that has more power. Also a year is a symbol of things happening over and over.

Flashback attack.
Disarm you with a smile
And leave you like they left me here
To wither in denial
The bitterness of one who’s left alone
Ooh, the years burn
Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn

—Chris HedgesWe are burdened by household gods, no longer made of clay, but all promising to fulfill us. Our computer, our television, our job, our wealth, our social status, along with the brands we wear and the cars we drive, promise us contentment and inform our identity. These household gods seem to offer well-being, health and success. But all gods create cults. And al these cults circle back to use, to a dangerous self-worship fed by forces who seek to ensnare us in idolatry.

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer & cold in the winter. It’s round & wet & crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies - God damn it, you’ve got to be kind. Kurt Vonnegut
