For our second exhibition we are proposing a reflection about the spaces we interact in, based on a perspective beyond the physical: if we abandoned the conception of space as a mere container, and rather perceived it as a conglomerate of multi-dependent relations, we might be able to look at it as a dimension of comprehension.
Thus, instead of cartographing the relations surrounding and crossing us within this exhibition (its conception and its aftermath) from the vertically above, we propose a series of suggestive codes to navigate through them as equal, (mis-)comprehending, relation-making participants:
constellation,
= here
or a system of orbiting events that is observed from the inside to gather experiences and make associations
gravity,
= tension between here and there
or the bodily feeling of alterity
significance,
= where a space becomes a place
or how gravity introduces meaning to experiences
identity,
= orbit
or where I go in reaction to the bodily feeling of alterity
gaze,
= the gravitational warping of light around orbiting events
or the projection of me onto/through/around you
emptiness,
= invisibility of gravitation, significance, identity and gaze
or where we comprehend
[VOID, GAP, HOLE.
A heavenly absence. Harmony in silence. A lack of sense.
An interval, a break (dance) in continuity, the missing part.
An enticing, yet unbearable, human feeling of hollowness.
Here, however, lies our chance towards
comprehension, alteration, progression.]
