The title “DISLOCATE” suggest a change according to Gilles Deleuze, whose explanation about insanity by a quotation from Shakespeare’s story “Hamlet”.
When we meet unexpected happening or accident, we have to make up our mind for unpredictable future without usual knowledge and experience we have gone through, he pointed out that that is when “Time is out of joint”, and that is when we turn into insane or find out own insanity or change.
When I try to develop my work into new format or invent new method, my mined gets unstable condition in which I feel suspended from reality and it scares me with no reason. I think it is the moment of “Time is out of joint”, but I suppose it’s the time for change for good.
“DISLOCATE” project wasn’t found out deliberately, it was rather made by instability. I believe that creativity is all about balance between reality and insanity.
