In 2006, at the opening of an exhibition dedicated to the 13th anniversary of the Vistula River gallery in Toruń, we did a performance: standing in the middle of the room, we held a 70x 70cm double-sided mirror. Holding the mirror was complicated because you couldn’t see your cooperating partner. We could only rely on our tactile experience and intuition. The mirror broke after 27 minutes.

For the Larvae of the future exhibition, we changed the structure of the performance, instead of ourselves inviting a security worker and an employee of the exhibition realization department of the Zurab Tsereteli Museum, where the exhibition was held, to play the roles of performers.
