Why would the first prisoner think about such an idea? When sentenced to isolation, without the possibility of any artisanship, collecting date kernels and trying to make something out of it, is an attempt to leave a mark on the surroundings or being present in the outside world through whatever possible means. Even in the form of trading and making a living. The desire to achieve \u201cfree will\u201d comes down to \u201cmaking\u201d things, even by filing and heaping them into piles, which does not necessarily have artistic results.\n\u201cCorpse\u201d\n\u201cThe human physique can be regarded in two ways. We call it \u2018a body,\u2019 so long as it is tied to the soul. When that tie is broken, it is no longer called a body, but \u2018a corpse.\u2019\u201d \u2014 Avicenna \nIn the absence of the contained (soul), the container (body) turns into a corps. Apparently, a corps (date kernels) is the only thing left to me from the prisoners\u2019 free will. It is a material reduced to nothing. Filing kernels one after the other is something like repeating a prayer, to which you eventually become numb. That magical chant starts from a word and turns into a monotonous sound. The sound is repeated, echoed, and then fades away, possibly without reaching the ear of its audience. The date kernels prayer beads are the only thing left from this struggle. \nFiling date kernels is an exercise in futility: they pile up in pursuit of retrieving \u201cfree will\u201d in a hopeless situation.","space":"-Installation size: 250*250*300cm and each pillar made from iron 30*30*300 cm  surrounded with walls from 3 side.\n-This installation is an archive consists of 35000 filed date kernels made by 18 prisoners imprisoned out of the city of ardebil in six months.
