- 00:00:12.009

- 00:00:15.125
- the exhibition is planned, prepared beforehand, nevertheless,00:00:21.838
- 00:00:21.838

- 00:00:32.331
- The title "Eight sculptures and one wife" was agreed00:00:36.098
- 00:00:36.098
- when I didn´t know exactly what I was going to exhibit here.00:00:41.895

- One wife was originally meant as a performance.00:00:47.745
- 00:00:47.745
- It was meant as a live action taking place during the exhibition opening.00:00:51.885

- 00:01:43.210
- It is an intuitive thing developed during preparations and installation.00:01:52.373
- 00:01:52.373
- It depends more on current associations.00:01:57.632
- 00:01:57.632
- It is not based on prepared concepts, or rational processes.00:02:02.642
- 00:02:02.642
- Objects are different.. Some of them I have at home.00:02:13.303
