Together with the read books, the plants and the growth-promoting pink plant light, the table represents the student's workplace in her bedroom in Geneva. While the mirror cabinet and the reliefs of her beauty products reflect the decay of the student's Self and consciousness about it.
The lecture performance takes place as a reflection of the installation.
The spoken text examines, among other things, the construction of the Self: Following the idea of Socrates, Seneca and the Stoics, the observations of the self flow into a hypothesis about what this Self is (contains); the Self is thus self-realizing in itself - in a feedback loop of observation and hypothesis. The idea of self-realization as a project to understand a system through the identification of function and behavior - in the technical sense - has its origin in the classical project of ethics.

A 'dis- order' (in this example BPD) in the Self, causes a theoretical knowledge crack in the concept of this Self and in the understanding of the Local Horizon in which this Self is positioned. This in turn requires a re-orientation about what this Self is through a re-identification of current function and behavior. From this new frame of reference we develop new knowledge from perception, a revolution in knowledge theory.
