[+] SILVIA ZIRANEK (UK)
MORE OR, LESS ORder
‘The work considers sense, in a way, priorities, habit, choice, desire, age/beauty, carrot/donkey, chicken/omelette, devil/deep blue.
I (try to) consider alternatives in possibilities – in my own way – tending to walk tending to talk, tending to support some kind of bigger frock, tending towards familiarity. We often tend towards familiarity (though not necessarily quality): it seems to make sense to open the door/read the book/swim in water/pay now/pay later/use mountains/hope/look/think – in our own way.
I shall loll, I shall dangle, I shall handle bright coloured nets cascading from the rafters containing objets charmants that tend to go in order, with priority, with sense (of a kind). I shall start before I stop, I shall breathe before I speak, I shall think before I talk (or try to).
I walk and I talk, I tend to dress up.’
