"Apollo" (2003)

A situation involving a mobile structure in constant transformation that generates "maybe's" and "either-or's", suppositions and conditional tenses, diverging paths and even a breaking away... A moment suspended in time, a finite and infinite object that may give, open, create time to sense, feel, reflect

"a moment that opens new territory for the spectator, who has complete freedom to confront the work in his or her own way"

A story that is not linear but rather sprawling in all directions, an open, unfinished narrative, suspended… The moment decides. The entire system is designed to open chance to improvisation. "Nothing is left to chance" in this ultimately random approach. The random governs the order of fixed materials using a point of suspension as a milestone marking time.
