Description:
Rats, which have parachutes on their backs, are thrown through the top windows of flat roof of a building into the crowd of people, who are at the opening of a festival. For security reason of the people, those are tame rats and from esthetic reason the rats are white.

Conception:
There is no conception, but not everything is so easy to understand even for me. Very often as now I have a strong view about my art pieces, but it doesn’t mean that I understand exactly the meaning of this one.

"Airborne Troops Landing of the Rats” is an action, which is based on my dreams. It has no purpose, intent, and probably no idea and message. There is also a possibility, this is just apparently, because according to me it has something to ware indistinctly, hardly and hardly, no one can define precisely. And exactly, this ambiguity fascinates and attracts me. I seek to find a way to the unusual, strange, and if you want, and useless and senseless. That no sense which everyone would understand in his own way. I’m not someone, who necessarily holds to be understood when making art. For me it is not important to have cause and reason for it.

Probably, if there is a reason for me to do such an action, it is to shake the minds of the people and to wake up them from the apathy and to remind them that this world is not only place where they have to earn money, but the art is here and it gives them opportunities for journey to some other worlds.

I have already realized one time this action before. It was a part of NoPassWord No.0 festival for contemporary art in Genova. But there, for security reason of the people, those were artificial rats and the rats were not white but grey. The rats, which have parachutes on their backs, were thrown through the windows of Palaco Dukalle building into the crowd of people, who are in this time at the Ferari square in the old part of Genoa city.
