Dis-orientations on this exhibition
it affirms itself upwards and downwards with equal width : it repeats itself.
it is constant – it is a cornerstone – it is foundational
it institutes something, even if we know not what that is
it is a surprise: maybe, maybe
it sways it sways it sways but it does not fall. It continuously continues without variation
[or with a variation of minor notes – those that matter to the disorientations]
suspended, heavy, sustained
the regular motion captures the gaze but also the body.
Slowly, the home-workplace-home dance seems to be evoked;
in a whisper and wanting the humdrum
that cuddles our trained hand
that pushes us back on track
the relations between time and consistency;

WITH THE SAME TIME MEASURE AS THE [[other]] SPAGHETTI.
and it entwines with – which is to say it marries – duration
Sensations are articulated with perceptions
and from this combo ensue life’s senses,
invented in the playing out of stories,

and
his articulated praxis between para-artwork and artwork-itself
tells us that movement is key
as well as the structure which structures it,
but what’s important is the magic that comes out of it.
The enthusiasm that arises from structure is The artwork
and not the constructive details
which we might find difficult to keep up with
lastly, that which is most relevant
to understand the signs
in the light ::
the work of EVIDENCE.
&
To understand the signs
through the shadows ::
the work of INTELLIGENCE.
