The function of non-functionality is a practical folding technique with white paper that Siagian repeats daily for a fixed period and eventually collects and assembles them on a shop shelf. This installation is a constructive process whose artist associates with how the factory worker performs a repetitive act on the assembly line and how this becomes associated with ritualistic actions.

During the residency in BUDA-Kortrijk, Siagian will continued this research in studio 0 for 5 days.
