It’s a Long Way from Amphioxus

An old woman turns to the young man with the yellow book sitting next to her and asks, “What are they distributing here?” “Numbers”, he replies. In Berlin’s waiting rooms, where metal and wooden seats are nailed to the floor, people arrive after emerging from the seas. Here they wait. IT’S A LONG WAY FROM AMPHIOUXUS collapses time, questioning the meaning of life in a system in which humanity is reduced to a number and the value of one’s future is measured in terms of applications in grey hallways. Step into this black hole where bones and flesh have become numbers in a queuing system.
