Projekcija predstavlja koncept poškodbe in obnove v obliki mitološke zgodbe, ki opisuje nastanek sveta skozi rojstvo in medsebojno zasledovanje poškodbe in obnove kot prinašalcev funkcionalnih in disfunkcionalnih stanj. Ta proces predstavlja tudi odnos med naravo, tehnologijo in umetnostjo, pri čemer poudarja perspektivo, v kateri se umetnost nahaja v sedanjem slovenskem političnem diskurzu, ki jo pojmuje kot disfunkcionalno stanje človeštva in namerno škodo uveljavljeni etiki. Svet, ki ga prepoznavamo kot preplet škode in obnove, je zgradil realnost, v kateri umetnost prepoznavamo kot škodo. Postati umetnost v tej perspektivi pomeni postati disfunkcionalen.

Zgodba gre takole:

Ko je prišlo do poškodbe, je izgledalo, kot da bi eksplodiral in se razletel ogromen snop. Ekipa za obnovo ga je želela takoj zatreti in vrniti v luknjo, iz katere je prišel. Da bi se izognila pritisku obnove, se je poškodba razdelila in poskušala pobegniti, vendar jo je obnova hitro dohitela in začela potiskati nazaj v prvotni snop. Poškodba se ni vdala in se je ponovno razdelila, in vsakič, ko jo je obnova dohitela, se je poškodba ponovno razdelila.

Tako sta se obe razdelili na tisoče kosov, in tu in tam so nekateri postali bolj standardizirani od drugih. To medsebojno zasledovanje in boj sta povzročila mešanice poškodb in obnov, ki se še vedno včasih spreminjajo in se tudi med seboj združujejo v večje mase in celice. Mase so včasih sestavljene pretežno iz poškodb, včasih iz popravil, in tvorijo nekakšen sediment med mešanicami enega in drugega. To je dalo vznik konceptu poškodbe in obnove, procesov, ki oblikujejo in povezujejo funkcionalna in nefunkcionalna stanja stvari, organizmov in okolja. S preučevanjem funkcionalnih in nefunkcionalnih stanj lahko celoten svet razumemo kot preplet poškodb in obnov, pri čemer je tisto, kar je funkcionalno za enega, nefunkcionalno za drugega, ali pa poškodba enega pomeni obnovo drugega. Tudi danes se poškodba in obnova v človeškem svetu medsebojno preganjata in delita ter oblikujeta človeške dejavnosti, kot sta umetnost in gospodarstvo.

V sodobnem času so ljudje (vsaj v jugovzhodni Evropi) ustvarili sistem, v katerem je tehnološki razvoj standardiziran kot funkcionalno stanje »vitalne« človeške družbe, medtem ko se je razvoj umetnosti znatno upočasnil in se pogosto dojema kot nefunkcionalno stanje človeške družbe. Sploh to dokazuje odziv okrog nedavnega referenduma o zakonu o dodatku k pokojnini za izjemne dosežke na področju umetnosti, ko je bila umetnost pojmovana, kot poškodba - degenerativna dejavnost.

Projection presents the concept of damage and restoration in a form of a myth-like story The Tale of Damage and Restoration, a fictional story that describes creation of the world through the birth and mutual pursuit of damage and restoration as bringers of functional and dysfunctional states. This process also represents the relationship between nature, technology, and art, highlighting the perspective in which art finds itself in the current Slovenian political discourse, which conceives of it as a dysfunctional state of humanity and a intentional damage to established ethics. The world, recognized as an intertwining of damage and restoration, has built a reality where art is recognized as damage. To become art in this perspective means to become dysfunctional.

Story goes like this:

When the damage occurred, it looked as if a huge bundle had exploded and scattered. The restoration team wanted to immediately suppress the bundle and put it back into the hole from which it had emerged. To escape the pressure of the restoration, the damage split and tried to escape through other parts of the restoration, but the restoration quickly caught up with it and began to push it back into the original bundle. The damage was far from giving up and split again, and every time the restoration caught up with it, the damage split again. Thus, both split into thousands of pieces, and here and there, some managed to become more standardized than others. This mutual pursuit and struggle resulted in mixtures of damage and repair that still sometimes change and also combine with each other into larger masses and cells. The masses are sometimes predominantly composed of damage, sometimes of repair, and form a kind of sediment between the mixtures of one and the other.

This gave rise to the concept of damage and restoration, processes that form and connect the functional and non-functional states of things, organisms, and the environment. By studying functional and non-functional states, we can recognize the whole world as an intertwining of damage and restoration, and what is functional for one is non-functional for another, or the damage of one can mean the restoration of another. Even today, damage and restoration chase and divide each other in the human world and shape human activities, like art and economy.

In modern times, people (at least in southeastern Europe) have created a system in which technological development has been standardized as a functional state of a "vital" human society, while the development of art has slowed down considerably and is often perceived as a non-functional state of human society. Technology could be described as a standardized renewal that constantly renews the development of humanity, while art seems to be a hindrance to human progress, especially art that is more difficult to understand.
