[140] Marina Albu The Real People’s House During Ceausescu’s “reign” in Romania, we had power supply back-outs that lasted between a few hours during daytime and usually the whole night when started in the evening. This event happened very <strong>of</strong>ten, sometimes daily. In this time, people used oil-lamps and candles for being able to complete activities around the house, read or just see each other. But almost every time these things would <strong>no</strong>t happen, the reality would shift, a change <strong>of</strong> ambiance implied a change in living, being, in the pre-thought program. This would be a break, a pause in which one could think things over, but also a time <strong>of</strong> closeness - we are all in this situation and we feel it in the same way. We are abetters to one a<strong>no</strong>ther. We are open, we put our arms, guards and shields down. We realize that <strong>no</strong>t everything we urged to do is that urgent or even needed. Paradoxically, closer to darkness we see more clear. I am creating a room that contains lit oil-lamps as we used to use, church-usage candles in a glass, refilled to supply for the whole biennale period, accompanied by an audio describing the situation and the state <strong>of</strong> being. The room invites for this pause in the flow <strong>of</strong> things and actions for each <strong>of</strong> the visitors and suggests a break <strong>of</strong> the like in the flow <strong>of</strong> things and actions on the larger scale, in the way things happen in the world, in our societies. Stop, question, realize. Also, if then this lack <strong>of</strong> electric light was a troubling situation seen as directed against the people, <strong>no</strong>wadays we are aware <strong>of</strong> the finiteness <strong>of</strong> resources and propose a self-constructed system <strong>of</strong> black-outs. In this black-out we allow ourselves to feel without object, to be without reason, to let go.
