This Installation was done for an exhibition in NYC ”The Utility Banquet”: designers and artists telling something about the tools- they use for their work ….this is MYKs contribution
Myra von Busekist and her team sometimes work on the edge of legality: "We often have to overcome the barriers of the construction sites at considerable (criminal) expense in order to place an object correctly. Then the wind direction has to be good, and my partner (the Amazonian Indian Equi) shoots his blowpipe arrows - don't worry: they are blunt and not poisoned - at the right moment. Not always do the unbalanced painters spill a whole bucket of paint, sometimes they drop something else or the pompon object is not hit. That means then, everything again from the very beginning..."
