About March Towards Infinity
On three panels a crowd of sickly looking people is marching upwards towards an open venerated door in the center. A serum container with the word sterile is hanging down with a red vein for energy and a blue vein of useless energy. Below this triptych, which gives the installation a spiritual character, is a video installed showing permanently marching bare feet in all kinds of terrains and in water as the persons have abandoned their shoes in search of a savior.
