The Swiss side of NOMAD (Thinking) Residency

In response to the exhibition Fffuture Fffocused Art Prize (organised by Riff Raff, the collaborative artist duo comprised of Li-Ming Hu and Daphne Simons),we had individual spectators on my back while they gave feedback to me on the exhibition and I fed them chips at the same time. I also reflected also on physics ideas like collapsing wave function and the theory of the white hole.

We walked in a straight line from outside on the street all the way in to the back of the main gallery at COCA for an hour. When we walked backward we discussed our political regrets, when we walked forwards we discussed what we see could be political solutions.
