The Windmill

The Windmill for An Embassy
Without A Country is a theater performance and installation piece.
Inspired by separate aspects of the same notion, this Embassy
represents the collision or collage of three elements; A Tower
of Babel, The mast of a Caravel and the Windmill. The Tower of
Babel representing the separation of languages and cultures and
thus the birth of the nations. The mast of a Caravel represents
the ships of the age of discovery and thus the re-unification
of cultures. The Windmill represents the Quixotic battle that
rages in the mind of the creator in his or her struggle for expression
within society. The combination of these three elements together
with the protocol production apparatus, the gateway, the undulating
protocol conveyor, the manpower platform and the performance represent
the complex nature of life itself in an age where theory and chaos
become order.
