Midtveisutstilling i løpet av masterstudiene. Publikum fikk mulighet til å velge om jeg skulle åpne skulpturen eller ikke. Spørsmålet jeg stilte dem var om tanken om noe var mer interessant enn å se resultatet (av tanken).

På veggen ved siden av arbeidet hang et skjema der de kunne stemme:

Is the idea (of something) more interesting than the idea materialized? State your opinion. I will do as you say. If NO I will open this “something” when my wife arrives. She just has to put our son to sleep first, but not by using a sedative, of course. YES = I won’t. NO = I will remove the plastic.

Mid term exhibition during the MFA. The audience got to choose whether or not I was to open the sculpture.

On the wall there was a poll that stated:

She just has to put our son to sleep first, but not by using a sedative, of course. YES = I won’t. NO = I will remove the plastic.
