Why are you so tedious?
She asked.
Because it's brief
He answered.
It was like running
like exercise
like school.
We did it for ourselves
for our art
for our friendship.
We had this special moment
of being invited by the Kunstverein
because of our nationality.
But we used it to show something else
something we feel is still under construction.
Our meeting here is the base for this work
the meeting of two friends that love to create
to think and to share ideas.
We are different artists with different practices
but here our art meets for its first duet.
Each one brought his/her highest note.
We were screaming.
We were shouting while we installed.
We were trying to get rid of our ego.
We tried to fill up this void
the void created by a horrific nightmare.
The name was Tedious and Brief
as life is, so is our work
moving
breaking
here in the present
but already ready to be gone and despair.
We are in a marathon
our emotions are high
our lungs are hyperventilating.
We breathe fast
we move fast.
We want to succeed as much as we can.
Tedious and Brief
We fight it
we love it.
We use it to our advantage
for our art
as our air
the source of our desire.
