Here is a glimpse into the current back-end of our process. Tracing the exact trajectory of an idea as it enters our field is occasionally possible, but rarely linear. It may grow slowly in its own fashion, lie fallow for a time or turn out to be a dead end. But sometimes (!!) it becomes a silent riot inside our escapades - that which finds its external form at unexpected speed. This we would call a commission.

We tend to work simultaneously across motley of topics that go in and out of hiatus. Having a crush on a hypothesis is a desirable beginning but by no means obligatory. There is a soft underbelly to the work too, feeling of and with the web of absence - things forgotten, erased or not yet manifest that carry the electric charge of possibility.

To dialogue with the absences we “stage” various associations, from the harmonious to the discordant (could museums “talk” with night clubs or football clubs? Could city officials talk with science fiction authors?) which is akin to assembling a puzzle piece by piece, knowing that all of them are a function or a larger mosaic that contains in itself an alchemical magic of becoming more than sum of its parts.
