I begin / to believe / in a god / I could / build like / a porch
Eileen Myles

By chance, E and A meet while E is waiting for F. A and A are looking for someone to write, which is something that E does, that F does, that they could be doing together. We‘re all in.
We meet the next day. A talks about their work, 38 plus 12, about joint practice, needs. A talks about A, about growing up in Berlin, Prenzlauer Berg, coal fl aps. About fi nding ways, through the city, through tunnels, the offside. What is the opposite of static? As we speak, we look onto a fi lm set. A container is being loaded by a crane. A body of metal and
glass, white inside, a light tube like you might see in offi ces. The plot seems to be that individuals are imprisoned there. To know more, one would have to watch the fi lm. Up to you.
It‘s a spectacle. Mobile phones are involved, IG stories posted. „For me, it‘s the tape.“ A red lashing strap hanging down from the fl oating container, twisting in the wind. Something very delicate that contrasts the harshness and sterility of the container with something alive. How much it takes for an idea to become real here. Capital. Human, cultural and fi nancial. How
much someone must have wanted this: to have a glass cuboid produced, delivered, lifted. The container moves over our heads. Is this take really necessary? No one knows.
F holds a lighter whose colour makes it an object of desire. To recognise what it is that one wants. „We just take the things we need, we snitch a watering can like this at a petrol station if we want it, and that‘s what it‘s all about.“ Not being afraid to enter objects, enter space. To feel what it is that you need in order to play, to take control. A good-enough space. Created from the bodies, the power of A and A. A radical, mobile dummy. An approach to needs that don‘t want to be met in the same way. Openings that their bodies just barely fi t into. #Refuge #Playground #Viewpoint „Good enough isn‘t easy after all, it‘s the ultimate goal.“ It‘s easy to infer the nature of women artists from a work of art, to make a diagnosis. To remain
passive in reception, to consume rather than participate. But what if you want to fi nd a place for Rest and Relaxation. A place that holds and supports. A container within a container within a container, module by module.
