A stunningly strong and independent personality emerges
from the interview with Viola, who is a Hungarian woman, working as a cleaning lady in Brussels. She tells a series of interrelated stories that are hard to believe, yet, all true.
Viola
is an exceptional human being, with strict and clear morals. Day by day she cleans people’s homes invents order in their chaos, helps them maintain a high quality of life, and thereby she maintains her own quality of life... Cleaning, tidying up is a kind of
intervention in those micro-environments, for the comfort and
the happiness of others – and her own.
The artwork presenting Viola is a two-channel video: one is the audio visualization of the artist’s interview with her, while the other is a collage of amateur shots of the endless reconstructions in Brussels in the summertime, mixed with a 3D simulation of a room hit by turbulence.
