The zone of non-being

45 x 55 cm

Embroidery on cotton

(Text translated from norwegian below)

A series of automated, trustbuilding behaviors

we’re talking about invisible negotiations

this is the theater of everyday life.

A life in the inbetween

of being human and a non-being

And I know

it is a losing strategy.

What does it look like?

When the inner surveillance camera strikes and

you get to breathe out

DAHOMEY!!!!!!!!

"In a not-too-distant past everybody knew that you defeat oppression by destroying the fear of it. And everybody knew that to destroy fear you need to challenge it and mock it; you don’t destroy fear by thinking about guarantees of safety and trying to create a suitable environment for protest. Everybody knew that what breaks despair is the constant incitement to direct confrontational revolutionary action, without calculations of profit, loss, or popularity." -Alaa Abd el-Fattah
