for Ilya Kabakov, on the boat of Heaven
for this installation you will need a wide mouthed jar
fill it with pink sand
on top, a few abandoned beach chairs
very colorful. very tiny and convincing.
but where is the sea?
you must imagine the sea.
put a few coral shells on top of the pink sand
make waves near the light with your hands
this was once sea.
expectantly look beyond the jar
like magic the sea will appear
you will hear drifting music
you will hear mermaid refractions
you will imagine the stars.
