P008 → “head ööd ahjud, muld, linnud ja tuba” (2023)
The Von Trapps sang “So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye”. Kant wrote that humanity is waiting for the end of the world because “reason tells them that the duration of the world has value only insofar as the rational beings in it are compatible with the ultimate goal of their existence; but if this is not achievable, then creation itself seems purposeless to them...”. Agriculturist Malle Järvan said that every gardener should have a compost heap in which microorganisms must be able to move freely, live and die. The Caretaker created a six-and-a-half-hour soundtrack about the loss of memory and memories. The rich had old houses, buildings and monuments torn down.
Performative installation about decay, dying, forgetting, rotting, disappearing, withering and losing.
