The real opposition doesn’t lie between pessimism and optimism but between the two of them and realism. This is well demonstrated in the common statement about being neither pessimist nor optimist but realist, thus putting optimism and pessimism in the same basket of subjectivity and suggesting there’s an objective point of view called realism. This implies a component of non reality inherited to both optimism and pessimism. There’s a hint of something imaginative to it. We don’t believe in realism. It is static; it is boring if it at all exists. Now one has to choose between optimism and pessimism, both as subjective, as imaginary. For us it’s not a question of natural tendency, not even of an ideology. It’s a pragmatic, strategic decision between pessimism and optimism, and the decision is in fact between passively watching the world goes by, or actively intervene in it. We opt for optimism. A kilo for a kilo is an optimistic project. It’s interventional, it’s imaginary, and it’s concrete. A kilo for a kilo is a donation operation for collecting physical energy in the aim of eliminating the separation wall between Israelis and Palestinians. The contribution is made by the gesture of pushing using a machine designed especially for the mobile contribution post. The prushing action is measured and translated to kilos, while the highest weight pushed is considered as the contribution amount. Each kilo contributed is considered as a kilo taken off the separation wall. A dynamically updated website accompanies the operation that displays a real-time simulation of the accumulated contributions and their effect on the wall.
