1m white metal, crumpled white paper for shoes wrapping (collected from the street), black wire.
The video accompanying the installation shows a structure in motion. The constructions of white “garbage” are constantly moving from right to left. All the paper clumps move en masse and have the same color, shape, sound, and direction.
They are forced into a common path, as a flock of sheep follows and is controlled by its shepherd.
An escape from the structure is impossible. Each entity is overwhelmed by the force of the mass and is controlled by long black wires that connect each of them to a larger system that dominates and controls them.
