Linking Square      
18 July 2004        Florence Italy
 
In a room approximately 25 square meters an ideal garden is reconstructed.
On the ground the symbol of Ikebana is traced in sand.
At the edge of the symbol there are three orchids.
On the front and back walls there are three Polaroid photos.  
Four closed suitcases containing shoes are lined up at the edge of the room.  
Sounds and footsteps pass through the room.
 The artist takes off her shoes and picks up one of the suitcases, enters into the room and places the shoes on the lines of the design.  
On some pairs of shoes she writes phrases with paintbrush and ink.  
Once this ceremony is finished the artist writes the date on the small suitcase, leaving it in the room as she exits.
