‘Through the absurd and sometimes impertinent nature of the poetic act, art provokes a moment of suspended meaning, a sensation of a senselessness that may reveal the absurdity of the situation. Via this act of transgression, the poetic act makes one step back for an instant from the circumstances. In short, it may make one look at things differently’. Francis Alys, 2008. ( A story of Deception, Tate)
