Come see my Graduation work at Het Nieuwe Institute, between the 11th and 14th of July in Rotterdam!

projection, etymologically tells us two things. There is an origin of an idea, that is in one, which is then thrown somewhere else. Thinking of projection technically the latter definition changes slightly. Whilst the word itself does not suggest specifics but a place between two agents, the technical version of a projection demands a plane. Due to technical sophistication there must not exist a parallelism between the projecting entity and the receiving/deflecting one. There are different ways of dealing with the projections plane, but the one most commonly used is the one known from cinema featuring a rectangular relationship with the reader. 

In comparison to a rhetorical projection, which suggests action without taking it per se, the technical projection because of its light-basedness introduces action in form of waves without a question.

I do not really love objects. They are around me, because I made a decision concerning them. Be it a purchase, be it a Yes over a No. I collect objects because of a need mostly. Some things I store for a future use. Of course there is no randomness. A certain aesthetic I do presuppose as well as a strategic value, meaning not to surround myself with stuff, that is too hard to get rid of. This last part may have an emotional, capitalistic or practical nature, just to name three.

 This paragraphs initiation was a passage in Elena Filipovics book about Duchamps seemingly marginal gestures informing the reader about Duchamps obsession with certain objects and his interest in bringing them together in the most condensed space. I wondered if this instance, the love for objects and the potential of speaking without reservation coincide to one quality. If I speak, I do so suspended in reservation. If I possess, I do so reserved through my moralistic values and restricted by practicality. If I do not possess, however, there is a trembling jelousy.
