Detour installation represents human in a weaken condition, maybe fallen asleep. One is looking for a shelter, place to have a rest. Bushes are weathered, bare and unfertile. Heavy spiky fruits lookalike forbidden Durians. Durian is like life it self: beautiful, sweet, desired, ambivalent, stinking, harmful and even deadly dangerous.
