The Shaman in front of the installation core-the padlocked metal cage Workstation.
Perception intention: archival of the archive is possible only when outside of the Workstation which symbolizes the Self. The Shaman hold a mask which is actually an exact replica of his face. He wears boxing gloves. He is surrounded by items that are used in the popular media as tropes, clichés, and stereotypes intended for mind control, such as, broken glass, mirrors, and mask, but he confronts them with blankets, salt, umbilical cords, etc.-items that represent awareness, essence, spiritual ancestry, and freedom from mind control.
