DL.25.001 finissage was meant as both a questioning and a play. When does an object become garbage, a ruin? With confetti, perhaps the instant it touches the floor. Or as soon as it is thrown away. Was the 2.5-ton mountain already a ruin when installed—a landscape of waste, or of celebration? Together we ruined it further, landscaped it further: people jumped over it, through it, into it, throwing kilos of it at each other. What remained was a wreckage—or perhaps it had always been one—a literal end to the party. A collective experience on destruction as creation.
All the pictures shown here are Polaroid unique copies, documentation on the process of the pieces. They are stamped with the date they were taken. The next series after this paragraph are from 25 and 26th June and they do document they way the sun reflected on the surface of the mountain confetti-piece.
