Life consists of contents with no meaning. Creativity is a means of examining these contents and making connections between them to develop meanings. The artists came from different backgrounds, and practices, to experiment with imagination. Practicing investigations and magic with no reason is how this moment and installation was generated. All pieces forming together to make everything and nothing.
