yes, 1/ she designed a "normal school" for the "bastards" (students) so they would not consider themselves to be part of the elite (due to attending a selective educational institution), 2/ she placed pedagogues in "aquariums" so everyone can see they are "doing shit", and 3/ made somewhat silly pink-orange-violet auditoriums to contradict all the simplicity, minimalism and strictness with a mild tinge of mischief!
after her passing away was announced by the news, plenty of ppl were sharing their memories (related to her) on social media.
she was known to be quite straightforward (and occasionally quite rude — tho she was not humiliating ppl, her mildly mischievous usage of vulgarisms was almost amusing and its sole purpose was to make a person aware, he/she did something dumb/stupid/imbecile).
thus one dude mentioned yesterday that in his view, so many ppl were driven to her because it was a big challenge to make a project (tutored by her) that she would not call/consider stupid/dumb and alike.
she was also quite known to be highly sclerotic (not recalling ppl with whom she was not really familiar for years).
whoever was doing a semestral project (tutored by her), he/she (i.e. the "bastard") consulted it with her once a week.
since i left the school after 3 yrs and initially i was tutored by someone else (first, i had to figure out who is who to realize SHE is the ONE & ONLY), so those ca. 2 years were still not enough she would remember me.
each and every week i had to introduce myself — tho she could recall the project rather fast.
if i did something she really liked (happening seldom) then she was able to recall me for 2-3 weeks and i could skip introducing myself during the next 2-3 consultations.
however, then again she completely forgot my persona and before the next consultation, i was again obliged to give the hints who the fuck i am (and ultimately i had to show the project so she could really recall).
now (in retrospect), i am not completely sure if she was really that sclerotic or if it was a kind of mischievous way of giving the "death of the author" lessons — to ingrain in our juvenile artistic brains that work/project matters (is worthy to be remembered) not the author (and his/her personal trivia).
in retrospect, i also think that despite i left the school and embraced the life of an aimless drifter, it is due to her ongoing lessons about the importance of being "normal" (i.e. predictable, strict/austere, moral, educated, truthful, non-trendy, etc., etc., etc.) i didn't go completely dandy and despite occasionally displaying mild eccentricities i am prevalently a "commoner".
