En Bloc (floor)

This is the second version, from the wall to the floor, but no less interesting, it's just my order. Simply putting the bags on the floor seemed too obvious at first. I thought I had to stage this found object somehow. But the mass of standing bags is a visual event even before you hear the sound, especially because of the white plastic handles. In their summation they have something of a wedding dress. It's probably the refraction of light in the material. There is something special about the acoustic movement inside the standing bags and the impossibility to locate such movement. One always stands on the edge of an activity that captures the entire form, but to which there is no access possible without destroying the arrangement.
