Preserved Decline - Paris 2011

Installation of 15 glass jars, 
inside which are imprisoned replicas 
of coloured epoxy resin acacia thorns. 
Silver lids and typographies.
Width 40,5 cm, height 34,5 cm, diameter 7,3 cm.
Melancholic collisions of that which 
slips away, fades, becomes fragile, mutates, 
disqualifies and fails in the course of our 
existence and transforms us into powerless 
onlookers of our own intranquillity.

Preserved decline of drop shadows
Preserved decline of figures of paternity
Preserved decline of ardour and desire
Preserved decline of blending of death and love
Preserved decline of the tail of century
Preserved decline of one's inner works
Preserved decline of semitones of consciousness
Preserved decline of the male body
Preserved decline of ancient knowledge
Preserved decline of working lifetime
Preserved decline of hope dust
Preserved decline of  the last havens 
of slowness 
Preserved decline of deserted parent
Preserved decline of managerial practice
Preserved decline of intimate fragmentation
