| ABOUT IDEA |
| |
| The idea was born on 8 April 2006, on Saturday. The geographical location of its birth is not important. It might be |
| formulated, let’s say, in the point A or in the point B, or the point C. ‘It’ may probably be in the point V. The position |
| of the object'It' may fluctuate; consequently, the context also may partly change. Does ‘it’ change partly doe to the |
| context, which fluctuates partly? It does not change. By changing its location in the space, the object ‘It’ stays |
| the same except the possibility to change its features. However, it is the most important that 'it' finally exists; |
| and therefore, the essential conclusions may be drawn. |

| ABOUT VIDEO |
| The essential visual object of the film is a matchbox and 45 PCS matches in it. During the video installation, |
| the dimension of the main object, the time and the place do not change. Only part of the features of the object |
| – colours – changes. The interval of the change of the colours is not significant; therefore, when observing the object, |
| it is not possible to understand what physical colour if the object is in the reality. No logical conception that green |
| is green makes the object as a mysterious one. Green is red or yellow or ‘It’. |
