‘As if fallen out of its own context, a long and mundane fictional conversation between two characters lies on the wall. An exhibition technician retrospectively reflects on a controversial decision – to hang their own artwork in a museum exhibition. To intervene, to reveal more of oneself – the work unfolds a dream shared by many, yet dared to be fulfilled by few. The consequences of this act – penalties, bans from the museum, a damaged reputation – all enter into an incidental relationship with the surrounding context. What we perceive as risky actions or transgressions is, in fact, constantly lingering in our environment.’
