three layers

The piece is a redesigned or reformed 'four layers' installation specifically for the other space (the space of library).
More detailed information of the installation could be found in a text here- ( https://sculpture-network.org/en/view/artwork/7293?comefrom= ).

Here the title as well as the 'four layers' work title becomes a reference to a field of layers. It is provocative and manipulative.
Work is practically made of three layers. the first one-a clean,neat,strict layer of National institution in which the work appears. the second layer self-contained layer of sand which occurs on the perfectly white wall and luxurious floors. In time sand slowly falls down as is it only supported by water which evaporates slightly afterwards. This layer becomes independent from a need to manage situation of strict institution, it's slowly fades away though there is an obvious attempt to keep it constant.The third layer are marks of visitors who not only leave their traces on the surfaces and not only creates vibrations which effects the work directly but they are spreading already fallen sand around the whole space, into corridors, into outside streets and maybe into their homes.
The title stops counting layers here, but we could easily find more layers (example - the layer of associations(we can find the form that resembles playground image), layer of sensibility (to feel the movement of sand in time) and so on).
