This project evolved from the symposium "why this world", whose title was taken from the writings of Clarice Lispector (1920-77). Her texts were an inspiration and source for conversations during our symposium. - I was interested in bringing together two different producers: the gallery owner, who also owns a supermarket chain, and myself as an artist. 'Equation of Loss' is a reactivation of identical objects from the company's storeroom: checkout conveyors, lift doors, grid walls, cash register rolls.

If there is a solution to the equation, it is the absence of goods and numbers that creates a new potential.
