27. 11. the premiere of Work in Regress pt. II!
Work in Regress' and 'Work in Regress -Part II' form a journey from an empty, deserted space, where nothing can be controlled and possessed, to a place of victories and ownership that are regarded as unforgivable, major culpability. In this place every conquest equals loss, it has to be hidden, feared and ultimately forgotten that it exists. The journey is a full circle, departing from a point of nothingness and arriving at a point of camouflaged, unseen and never shared glory. The distinctive identity and bravery become only internal experiences, which fade with the passing of time, in the favour of frivolity.
Dedicated to my parents, Angela and Eugen.
