a. Blossoming of Thinktwig, 2002-2003
The fertilization of Thinktwig is a very delicate process. Seasons have passed without the appearance of one single blossom. But now, at last Thinktwig has blossomed for the second time. We can smell the sawdust, see the vibrant pink color of the noses, eyes and ears plucked from its shoots. This time, in contrast to the first bloom whose harvest can be admired on the picture above, Thinktwig did not yield a world of things and abstractions, but one of the senses.

 a. Twist, 2002-2009
 “Once the object is being moved, one can do two things. One can continue to move, or stop.“

 b. Seat (film), 2003
Seat starts with a person who enters the screen and sits down in the wooden armchair in the middle of the space. The moment she sits the armchair breaks under the pressure of her weight. During the film she repeats these actions over and over again. Each time, in between shots, the broken parts are reassembled to make a new object to sit on. At first the object still resembles the original armchair. At the end it is no more than a neatly stacked pile of wood.
