breaking the wall

written on Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

in the house of my friend there is a wall full of paintings. It is quite impressive, to see the different approaches of making art . Some paintings are abstract, a lot are figurative, some are made by professionals, others by friends. i wanted to make another kind of painting. I wanted emptiness. So i put all the paintings away and all the hooks, there was the wall, painted light blue. I wanted something more empty. I made a big hole in the wall, and the hole revealed the world outside. I saw the house of the neighbors, i saw the wind in the trees in the garden, i saw the floating river. And i thought, this is the emptiness, that i like, the emptiness that is full. and immediately i have a title: selfportrait of man with beard.

i decide to work with this approach towards making dance performances. but i wonder now: in which wall i can make a hole?
