"For us, the idea of having a work that has contradictions is very important—when, in affirming something, it includes itself and attacks itself. How can you put together all of these things that have nothing to do with each other? You use glue! Glue can be an idea, a word. You can use an ideological glue."

"When I first started doing furniture or what later became the 'Living Units,' I didn't really consider it part of my artwork. It was simply a solution for these circumstances that I had to live in."
