coalesce elements that cannot be mixed elaborate provisional and ephemeral strategies for investigating ideas of togetherness, unity and community an abstract laboratory the work is but a severe effort to challenge a reality an act of failure  loneliness is a chimera the impossibility of a social independence a collective state of mind tracing lines of demarcation to construct a territory that which belongs to me and that which belongs to the other to measure to separate spatial utopia as a continuous breath, a rhythm that tries to impose itself on the environment natural flow and artificial barrier the wear of water running over things elements that work together elements that merge the vortex is a circular, centripetal movement, where things lose themselves in the neck of a funnel a vortex is a body of water involved in a circular swirling movement often caused by the meeting of opposing currents the water embodies the idea of perpetual motion, a continuous redefinition of an identity the vortex is an objective correlative, an essential metaphorical figure for detached observation of dynamics of encounter, of reciprocal shaping the white, the black, the gray unity and separation real confines and non-existing confines perceived or only imagined order and disorder visible confines and invisible confines radioactivity robert barry inert gas series the infiniteness of the landscape
