So Long and Thanks for All the Fish
performative Installation in line with the Golden Herring Award at Academie Minerva, Groningen (NL), November 2017

I wish I was a shooting star
traveling across the sky
offering a wish
to whomever takes the time
to study the stars,
the stars that mathematically align
with your brain
and when the light stops glowing
I fall
and my existence merges into
One with the universe
and with you
So that when you look into the nightsky
and you make a wish,
essentially you are wishing
for your life and my life
to persist forever,
not knowing that
with the moment you saw me fall -
I died a million light years ago.
