So the room switch has happened and then gone back to normal. I decided about half way through unloading my room that rearranging the furniture to a configuration that would be livable was not going to happen based on the size of my room. So I decided it would be more amusing to set up a modern art inspired installation that could sit at MOMA and people would ponder for hours what the significance of a stack of empty Shredded Wheat boxes beasted by a Grape Nuts box is. My roommates and I came up with various different anecdotes the winning one being:
The installation captures natures constant battle with confinement and metallic urban sprawl. This parallels a persons struggle living within the city which makes the bedroom location extremely profound. The reflection of consumerism outside natures barren cell suggests consumerism is mocking nature in triumphant but has a darker insecure side that is reflected. The mattresses against the wall conclude we are all living in an insane asylum and are a node to padded walls.
I think we are on to something here.....
But overall I actually really enjoyed this project....I think mostly because it gave me a chance to clean my room which brings me great joy. Although finding a cockroach was less then ideal and I will admit I freaked out for a good ten minutes!
I found this to be very therapeutic in a way. And while I put my room back exactly how it was before it was really nice to have to go through everything and clean and trash things. My room feels lighter now.
