In 2017 I visited Marina Abramovic retrospective in Stockholm's Moderna Museet and got especially touched by the performance of a young lady brushing the skeleton. On my way out of the museum we met at the door and thanked each other for the presence. One year later I was already working at that very same exhibition and in some months a skeleton was put on my labs, with brush and bucket besides, so the next 5 hours I had a chance to clean up "the mirror". Time flows, foam drops down the bones, thoughts flow, visitors endlessly passing by... What do they see?
