Preparations of the transformer-bride
An intimate ritual on the border of joy
Gently prepares for a new pain.
Her body will be given to water,
Her fingers will not be able to touch the ground,
She will become anonymously polite
“Preparations of the transformer-bride” is a reflection on privacy and publicity, on what is behind our desire and the requirement of individuality.
I collect images. I connect these images into specific rituals. I gather from these rituals the body of the installation.
