Innocent / 2012

2012, 386 holes drilled in 20 days , impact drill , Sofia, block of flats #711

Innocent is a work in which the “self excusing man” from my previous piece “Excuse me”, 2008, acquires a new evolutionary form – “the guilty person”. The guilty one runs through the dark and comes into sight to generate guilt, and to reveal the essence of part of our pathological relations in society. He materializes and “rationalizes” his existence in a vicious circle of action and regret. In a manner racking both to him and to the others around, he writes on the wall with an impact drill the word “(I’M) SORRY”.
