About work

During one of my bike rides around Quebec I "met“ the bridge. As I was driving on it, it seemed to change its form; folding up like an accordion, it dragged the detached pieces of land together. Once they were close enough, I stepped over on the other side of the river. When I turned around, I saw how the construction pushed the other shore of the river away. Thus discribed situation was not a real one. However, it was also not just my imagination. It is a description of what I then perceived. Later on I realized, that my experience with „the folding bridge“ was similar to another event from my life. And the title of this object originated in the other event: Go away. Come back.
