Queremos hablar acerca de nuestra existencia,
interpretarla, exponer nuestra identidad, pero carecemos del vocabulario para
hablar directamente desde nuestra espiritualidad. Solamente cuando tratamos de
encontrar las palabras para decir lo que queremos decir, nos damos cuenta de
que estamos inventando lo que está en nuestras mentes. Darle una vuelta, es
paradójicamente una forma más directa de llegar a lo real.
La metáfora nos permite ver el mundo cotidiano de
manera diferente. Puede conectar cosas que no tienen nada en común a primera
vista de una forma u otra. La metáfora se vincula con la realidad de manera
poética y por lo tanto, hace posible vincular lo abstracto con lo concreto.
Tiene la posibilidad de abrir algo de lo cual nunca hubo consciencia y de ir
más allá de la distinción entre pensamiento y mundo físico, objeto y sujeto,
aquí y allí, adentro y afuera, tú y yo. El deseo de unir distancias y alcanzar
lo inalcanzable visualiza la paradoja entre presencia y ausencia. La metáfora
provee una perspectiva siempre cambiante sobre la realidad. Esta perspectiva
cambiante no aprende algo nuevo para ver, sino que
representa una nueva visión.
Haciendo los conceptos abstractos imaginables en
nuestro mundo exterior, las obras de arte funcionan como posibles metáforas
para la realidad. Usando material físico en la menor medida posible, estas
intervenciones mínimas funcionan como herramientas de apoyo para expresar ideas
que son tan simples como profundas. No construyen explícitamente algo
nuevo, sino que hacen uso de todo lo que ya está dado en la naturaleza
circundante, en todos lados y en cualquier momento. Input mínimo, alcance
máximo.
Day and Night
We want to speak about our existence, interpret our
existence, expose our identity, but we lack the vocabulary to speak directly
from spirituality. Only when we try to find words for what we want to say, do
we realize that we are inventing what is in our minds. Making a detour is
paradoxically a more direct way to get close to the real.
The metaphor allows to see the everyday world in a different way. It can connect things that have nothing in common at first glance in one way or another. The metaphor relates to reality in a poetic way and is therefore able to connect the abstract to the concrete. It has the possibility to unlock something of which the awareness has never been realized and to go beyond the distinction between thoughts and physics, object and subject, here and there, inside and outside, you and me. The desire to bridge distances and reach the unreachable visualizes the paradox between presence and absence. The metaphor provides a constantly changing perspective on reality. The changing perspective does not learn something new to be seen, but new seeing.
By making abstract concepts imaginable in the outward world, these artworks function as possible metaphors for reality. By using physical material as little as possible these minimal interventions function as ancillary tools, to express ideas that are as simple as deep. It explicitly does not add or construct something new, but makes use of everything that is already given in our natural surroundings, everywhere and at any given moment. Minimum input, maximum reach.
