The underlying indeterminacy of the physical world, and perhaps all the more so our

experience of it, reserves a rebuke for any kind of fixity. Salvation is not in the closed

shape of things. Getting in contact with Floating Bananas is entering into an event of

relations. It’s about composing relationships; it’s about energies, but energies without

qualities. Pure energies. Stages of vagueness, of definition, of realities opened to the

flow, to our own determination through change. A living sculpture that addresses

questions concerning the construction of communities as well as potential locations

of social and political alliances between people. Learning from Sir Isaac Newton’s

combined motions, we can set up an excellent instrument through which looking at

the world. The only way to understand things is to make a small model that can be

hold in hand, to alienate them from the everyday.
