"The fabulous Ia Ensterä thus hits the mark again with an artful set hung with knotted ropes and outlined by a pool of crumpled paper balls. Love letters, bills, deeds to property, party invitations, death certificates – we live our lives on paper, but what does it amount to, really? A rope can kill you in a moment of despair, but it can also bring joy, as it does to children in playground games. "
