A cut image theater
from the material,
closer to the elements.
Every living creature, every thing, matter or phenomenon, goes through its existence in perpetual motion between appearance, disappearance and transformation. What if we could comprehend reality in this unstable equilibrium ? Let us cast our eyes on the shadow instead of the object itself, on emptiness instead of fullness, on the infinite space instead of the finite space, so that presence would be combined to absence, life to death.
In Impermanence we will try to position ourselves in this in-between space, as a figure progressing on a tightrope, as ice melting into water, then into vapour, along the fragile border between dreams and reality, horizontality and verticality, visible and invisible, in perpetual unstable equilibrium.
«Whom do we speak to
when we keep quiet ?»Tarjei Vesaas (1897-1970).
