Hoovering, 2020
Performance for camera

"I hate hoovering. I love the fact that you made a play and a performance out of it, so interesting and fascinating. Cleaning and hoovering are the every day acts and something that is historically done mostly by women. I remember the famous performance of Mierle Laderman Ukeles in which she was cleaning the stairs of the museum. It gives me this feministic touch in your performance. It has some historical continuance but still it is fresh and new. It was exciting to watch your performance how it was developing. The strings made some letters. Was it French? I couldn’t see it so clearly or understand it, so I cannot say anything about it. But it was a good idea to visualise something that way. It makes you wait for more. And the text is there and then it is gone, like the dust or the whole performance. It is as disappearing as performances are as a form of art. I don’t need to understand all. It gives me questions and sometimes that

is enough."

"I understood that you as an architect student dislike the big name Le Corbusier and you symbolically wanted to hoover him away or clean him away from the field of architecture or at least criticise his big influence that is present even these days. Hoovering his name as rubbish is a very strong act. It was also very effective to use this hoovering act as a metaphor of dislike. I think that there was a good, simple idea. Maybe it would be enough to make this without hoovering the text “sux”, because it is already enough that you suck away his name!"
