In this durational 6 day 'performance' simulation, a group of artists attempt to become a functioning institution in order to eventually research how institutions die. Throughout the graduation show they audit moments of leak and decay, as signpostigns of institutional collapse, while staging interventions throughout the academy building to honour these endings. They roam incognito, never there, never not there, nothing and everything at the same time. Their HQ - the existential office nestles invisibly into the graduation show, posing as a 'real' academy office - an infiltrator. Is it a performance? Is it real? By the end of the 6 days no one is too sure, especially not the artists themselves.
