A popular proverb recommends not washing dirty linen in public, since all family squabbles, problems and conflicts should be resolved in the family, without making them public. But there is not a single proverb that would warn people against putting a variety of garbage into the hut, ranging from gossip and spitefulness to aggression, lies and betrayal. Here are the people who are pulling that much … Dutch artist Frank Halmans in your art project Full house clearly demonstrates what happens if you do not follow this advice. If you imagine a person as a sponge that absorbs what it sees, hears and feels, then the house, which should be a fortress, a reliable fort with cozy rooms, looks like a bucket where everything that the sponge has absorbed flows into itself. And there it all gathers and mixes, fills the container more and more, until the inhabitants of the fortress find themselves up to their throats in dirty smelly water. Little pleasant, - and that's putting it mildly. Frank Holmans used this idea as the basis for his Full House art project. Except that instead of a bucket and a sponge, it features vacuum cleaners, designed in the form of mansions, skyscrapers and bungalows.
Like a vacuum cleaner that sucks in all the rubbish, we fill our home with unnecessary rubbish, and often - in the literal sense of the word. Unnecessary things, from which it is high time to get rid of, but do not have the heart to take them to the trash. The old woman of the times of her grandmother's youth, which she tearfully asked not to throw away - but suddenly it will come in handy. And of course, negative thoughts and emotions, squabbles, arguments, squabbles, resentments and anger. We pull all this with us from the street and leave it right in the middle of the hallway, cluttering up our personal space.
And then everything happens in the same way as with garbage in a conventional vacuum cleaner. Or the contents, consisting of trash and emotional garbage, can be taken outside the threshold and shaken out in the trash, thereby making room in the house for the positive and pleasant in your life. Or leave everything as it is, letting the situation take its course, and one day just burn out, break down, fail. And who knows if the service center will fix this breakdown, or the vacuum cleaner itself will turn into unnecessary trash …
