This installation plays with the concept of the multi-verse, a theory of quantum physics that asserts that—time and space being infinite—all possible realities exist. If this is true, then everything that could possibly have happened in our reality, but did not, has happened in some alternate universe. It serves as a meditation on the problem of creative decision-making, and how that struggle might be seen as ultimately pointless in an infinite existence. It also explores the interplay between language and objects, and the way in which texts can reframe the familiar.
