Title of work: "MEMORY EXHALATION XXX"

please take a balloon
blow it up
tie it up
throw it into the holding area
and write what was in your mind as you were blowing it up

thank you

At the end of this event, someone will count all the balloons and then burst them.
This piece will then be titled: Memory Exhalation xxx, where xxx is the number of balloons in the holding area.

When I think of balloon clusters, I see a bustling public beach in Mumbai, or a market at some small hill-station in India. It is dusk, and the air is filled with children’s screams being drowned out by vendors shouting the benefits of their handmade wares, and the smell of fried fast food. And in this dusty mela the shiny balloons catch your eye. And then you see the child, his ragged appearance contrasting with what he is selling.
