SHOWING WITHOUT GOING

Worktable

First you choose an object from many displayed on a shelf. You enter the first room and find a table with many tools and a simple instruction to "take the object to pieces". You smash, slice, saw, drill, unscrew, bend, rip… and then place the pieces on a tray which you take into the second room and place on another shelf. There, you take another tray with the remains of someone else's act of destruction, someone else's object, and take it to a worktable where, in the presence of other participants, you put the object back together using a variety of provided materials: thread, glue, staples, twine… A carefully worded sign invites you to spend as long as you like doing this. When finished, you take your "mended" object through to the final room, where it finds its place among many others.
