In our times art became something that in order to be valued has be filled with a ‘meaningful’ message, a political proposition. Personally it feels like decontextualising art from any environmental influence through white cube galleries in an elitist culture while demanding a re-contextualisation through ‘exterior’ information makes modern art rather inaccessible. Additionally though, it feels like that artworks are often blatant and 1-dimensional, only asking rather ‘simple’ questions or being a mere latching comment to a controversial thematic. This is a completely personal opinion and based on personal encounters.

On this quiet and serene place, the player is neither harshly confronted nor avoided. To put it simple. The player is -there-, in this moment, no specific questions are asked, no questions have to be answered. It is no counter concept to ‘screaming’, ‘straining’ political art. It is no escapist alternative. | On this quiet and serene place, the player is neither harshly confronted nor avoided. To put it simple.
