The Very Boring Piece is an invisible construction of the unattainable and unhabitual existence. It suggests emptiness and nothingness in a continual process of transformation. But what happens in this space in between, prior to complete transformation? This is a moment between two events. We could say that it is a moment of ambiguity. It is an undefined state, full of tension and potential. A space of a creation of the potential nothing or the potential anything. Expectation, tension and hesitation, inextricably bound with a strong desire to transcend into the unknown, are the inevitable elements of this piece. This piece is a nebula, an interstellar cloud of dust; a diffuse astronomical object which is experienced but unresolved. It is a creation of potential postevents, full of depending on probability and calculation of the consequences of decisions.
