CONCEPT /

'We need a friction in order to have a meaning to our life'.


ACTION   by itself (as a single movement) is just an action without the meaning.
(which is without practical application or reason to be there)
OBJECT   by itself (single objects on stage) is just an object without the meaning.
(which is without practical application or reason to be there)
By bringing another object or action/ movement into a picture doesn't add any meaning
to the object or action, UNLESS there is an interaction between those objects or action/ movements,
which results in FRICTION. And in its own terms, FRICTION doesn't happen without interaction.

Therefore, we need a FRICTION in order to have MEANING for any action(s) and object(s) in our lives.


In order to illustrate or define friction, we need to define what is non-friction.
Which could be illustrated by introducing (showing) single action or object alone first.
Then, by creating interaction between those actions/ movements and objects amongst each other,
or through cross interaction between action and objects - resulting in friction -
an actions and objects become meaningful.

“This action/ movement is there because of, or result of, or there for...... a giving reason”
“This  object is there for........practical application, or reason”

Which illustrates clearly, 
we need FRICTION in order to have MEANING for any action(s) and object(s) in our life.
