Based on personal objects of daily use, the work addresses the omnipresent expectation of performance in a neoliberal society. By asking visitors to constantly expand and transform the installation, the artist raises questions about ownership, service and copyright. Colloquially, “serving” means, among other things, “to perform” or “to bring it”.

With this participation of the audience, whoever might this be, the work is able to grow and fulfil the gesture of “serving” with each piece being laid down onto the floor.
