Hull Loss invites participants to make paper airplanes and launch them through a series of mechanically animated scissors. Only very few planes make it through these obstacles to the final, desired goal of the net. Most of them are scattered on the gallery floor, marking a new territory for the piece. Eventually, the whole floor became colonized by fallen paper airplanes. In ‘Hull Loss’, domestic objects are infused with violence. The small tragedies of the failed planes evoke a larger vision of disaster.
