THERE'S ALWAYS ONE HORIZON
Holes are drilled into a long piece of board which corresponds to the varying
horizons (eye levels) of the spectators. A stick of black charcoal is inserted
into each hole. Using the tool thus created, several dozen lines of horizon
are drawn on a sheet stretched out by assistants. A hole is then cut into the
sheet, thus uniting all the horizons. The implementation of this action illustrates
the artist's theme of the hole, its wholeness and significance. In the consciousness,
there is but one horizon, and almost anyone can define it correctly. Just as
an abundance of viewpoints converge into one, as one object is represented in
many projections, and as everything personal merges into a crowd, so the transition
from internal to external is seen as a hole. The hole as a transition is shown
as a hole/object.
