Rules have been a part of life for as long as I can remember. 

Be it in the broad society, at home, or school. They are a guard against potentially 

dangerous situations but also a block to further discoveries of human capabilities. 

In 18 MUSTS I seek to break the boundaries that rules and conditions can subject

one to. To breakout of the confines built by the society and even by self.

A paper wall is built of partially burnt hotel cash receipts that once belonged to 

customers of the hotel between the year 2005 and  2012. 

The receipts, are a  metaphor for conformance by the customers to be under 

the 18 hotel rules placed behind each door to different rooms. through a performance, 

a biker drives through the wall crushing the rules inscribed in red paint .The audience is 

then invited to tear down the remaining wall as a way to deal away with rules in the space

that is now transforming into an art space. A  symbolic gesture of breaking the rules. 

Drawings of artists “mockery or alternative interpretation” of the rules can be found on the 

hotel doors replacing the old rules
