<what is moving away, where are we going, etc> From where do we write from, from where do we post from, to where do we go. Who are we, what does it mean to be me to be us when we close the door. <what is the project, explaining the whole process> <an example, prepared in advance> <examples of the postcards, half completed, to be completed by the reader>

There’s no way we’re all doing the same thing Never knew this was an option –`


Uit welke ruimte kom je?

Les twee: uit welke ruimte kom je?

Here, languages make space.
Sequences impossible to use as a daily chatter.
Here, they develop into a complicated matter.
Every time we’re inside, we shake hands, wink-wink, we smile, we start again. The beautiful room is empty.
It’s room 2025, and we are stuck. We are stuck at full speed. No breaks, wink. We are talking We are talking We are talking about the room 2025. But we don’t see it. In fact, a black screen, an undeveloped film of sorts. There are not so many colours in this film. black, for sure, white. What was the colour in the 2025? Then let’s talk numbers. But there are not yet any numbers apart from the two, zero, and five. A pattern here. It’s an escape room. And we are talking about evacuation. As well as we are talking about evocation. To evacuate, one needs to evoke the secrets from the room 2025. Evoking the secret and resolving the mystery help us avoid repeating the things from the room 2025. Who knows, Will this evacuation be to room 2026 or to the other room? Who knows that? Zero answers. Five questions. one - Does it makes two of us? two - Who knows? three - Where were we? four - Who are we? five - How will we? It’s me, the secretary of room 2025, who knows. It is secretary taking care of things in the blacked out space, myself talking with you, the escapists. We are talking about inspecting the room’s secrets to escape it. We need a new language for this interior design-speak. The colours are nothing central but special for the escape room design. The colours themself are made of other colours. They come in different genres of being seen and heard. [RED speaks only in the past tenses, asking and answering questions like:] Where were we? RED: we ____ here [BLUE speaks only in the future tenses, asking and answering questions like:] How will we? BLUE: we will be in the room 2026 soon. [GREEN speaks only in the present tenses, asking and answering questions like:] Who are we? GREEN: What difference does a change of room make to who we are? RED: It was always better there, where we were? BLUE: _____ RED: GREEN:___ It’s dark in the room 2025 and we are preparing to set it on fire. Small match is not matching with the dim setup. What will be set on fire? RED: Was it the colour red itself? Navigate us, expose, where are you sitting in the room 2025? How that corner is furnished? [taking turns, depending on the screen.] BLUE: ______ GREEN: ______ RED: ______ We are inspecting the heating and then the lighting situation. What do you expect? Consider the heat beyond tempreature and humidity. Weather sucks in that room anyway. Weather change so quickly. How beautiful it is in every weather? FOLLOW the colours on the screen: What happens with the internal atmospheres? FOLLOW the colours, for each you will have 20 seconds to speak, or make sounds or show some gesture. GREEN: ______ BLUE: ______ RED: ______ Suppose the room is monopolised, what is that monopoly of the room 2025. We are talking about something wiring the whole economy and the whole ecology, including the contaminated collective unconsciousness, what drives the desires and artificializes them ex nihilo? FOLLOW the colours, for each you will have 20 seconds to speak, or make sounds or show some gesture. BLUE: ______ GREEN: ______ RED: ______ We are inspecting the ceiling and examining floor, the floors, suppose bar for is low enough to stop falling and the ground is too shaky for the equlibrium. We are talking about going tectonic, we are in the room 2025 and we are subterranean. We are talking about the bar being too low for the extraterrestrial. Inspecting the Walls, do we consider these walls to evaporate themself? It’s behinf the walls there is a dream of the 2025, was it a nightmare or a daydream, between an erotic reverie or hypnotic deza vu? FOLLOW the colours: for each, you will have 20 seconds to speak, make sounds, or show a gesture, answering the question: what happened to the walls and behind them?
BLUE: ______ GREEN: ______ RED: ______ So, what’s up with the ceiling? Are there aliens too? We are talking about interstellar comet has just passes by us in the room 2025. The ostensibly called aliens did not make ay contact. Another unfulfilled promise that aliens could save us. We are talking about the missed opportunity to eventify cosmic events and make it glow. Make it glitter. Consider the monster of the year, the monster of the year, the personal monster, or what was repressed in the world we know? Considerinng Light, isnt’ it too dark in here? The lack of what illuminates the room 2025? Assume the lack, the luck, the lust of the year. Choose yours and choose wisely. Imagine the movement in the room of the year, is it the upstream or downstream rush, a thrust? FOLLOW the colours: for each, you will have 20 seconds to speak, make sounds, or show a gesture, answering the question: what’s that light?
BLUE: ______ GREEN: ______ RED: ______ Consider our task is to exit the room 2025, and enter the new room.
