MM: This room is a small tribute to language and how language relates to the world and our minds.

The image of the word combination ‘Falling’ and ‘Dictionary’ is painted on a collage of self-made Notional Newspapers (2005–2018). Every single word that exists in the English language can be found in the accumulation of these newspapers. Almost no one has ever seen a falling dictionary in real life. It is an image composed of two words from our vocabulary, which only now and then come together in reality. The image of a falling dictionary has a very clear place in our mind. We can put it together instantly; a frozen image that is all about movement and language.

The image of ‘Three Dead Birds’ is more complex and hidden under a soft floor made of unpainted canvas. Because of the softness of the floor you can’t really feel whether or not you’re treading on one of the dead birds. The floor functions as a painting. Each step you take as you walk through this room becomes something special, even though we humans are basically used to treading on death. The earth is covered with a thick layer of death. Beneath each step we take on earth, there is death. In this work, it is more diluted, and not knowing whether or not you’re standing on a dead bird becomes a problem in your head.
