Dialectic of forms.
Rational. Irrational
Time denial, space alteration.
Dreams and memories of black holes.
Intangible space.
The work of art is adrift, seeking, roaming, erring and not even reaching a final meeting. The end itself is a random ride. Changing the coordinates, mutating, exploring, destroying, beginning a-new, changing the starting point. Changing the axis. It is no for everything to be indifferent, it is for new possibilities to arise. New states, new alterations, new us, strengths, us.
Singularity that evolves into plurality.
Shape of life without shape, no thirst for shape, no thirst for truth, no thirst for judging or being judged.
To become invisible in order to be.
Let it happen and live with the outcome. A game between tension and liberation.
Work as space of struggle, space of permanent revolution, going beyond things because it is knowledge, it is avant-garde and therefore is a void.
Within the twilight of the form the tension of the shapeless is hidden.
Totality has been lost.
Dialéctica de la forma.
Racionalidad. Irracionalidad.
Negación del tiempo, alteración del espacio.
Sueños y recuerdos de agujeros negros.
El espacio imperceptible.
La obra es deriva, búsqueda, deambular, errar; no es un encuentro final. El propio final es un andar errante.
Cambiar las coordenadas, mutar, explorar, destruir y comenzar nuevamente, cambiar el punto de partida. Cambiar el eje. No para que todo sea indiferente, simplemente para ver emerger nuevas posibilidades. Otros estados, otras alteraciones, otras fuerzas, otros nosotros, + fuerzas + nosotros.
Singularidad que deviene pluralidad.
Forma de vida sin forma, sin sed de forma, sin sed de verdad, sin sed de juzgar y ser juzgado.
Volverse invisible para Ser.
Dejar que el acto suceda y convivir con lo sucedido. Un juego entre tensión y liberación.
La obra en tanto espacio de lucha, espacio de revolución permanente, un ir al más allá de la cosas porque es conocimiento, es vanguardia y por ende es vacío.
En el ocaso de la forma se esconde la tensión de lo informe.
La totalidad se ha perdido.
