Lot Essay

"When I was a kid living at home, I used to come back to the house every day. Occasionally - I don't know why - my mother changed the furniture around between the rooms. So you came in and opened the door of your room and found that your room was no longer your room - it was your brother's. And a different room somewhere up in the hall was now your room, with all your stuff in it, your posters on the wall. Then you grew used to it - until the rooms were changed again. So I grew up with this experience of dislocation. You feel uncomfortable, yet it's extremely normal. I suppose that this relationship between the normal and the discomforting is part of the territory of the work (Muñoz quoted in "A Conversation, New York, 22 January 1995", interview by James Lingwood in Parkett, no. 43, 1995, p. 45).
