“We perceive contemporary reality as a moveable, flexible space in which the past, present and future simultaneously exist and mix,” the duo says. “We are interested in a process, which excites us with its unpredictability, in which a person simultaneously takes the role of the creator and the laboratory mouse. Creativity becomes a game in which each next step brings us closer to the limits of conventional everyday life.”
