Ben Cain: Kažeš im nešto što započne priču, DAZ, četvrtak 05. travnja 2007. u 20 sati

Gledati unatrag

Pred vama je umjetnost ili iluzija ostvarivanja vremena, ljudi, ideja i mjesta, koja još nisu dio fizičkog svijeta.

Nešto što će se tek dogoditi, nešto što nas čeka iza ugla.

Bijeli zečevi, ideali, nevidljiva publika, usvojena i izmišljena sjećanja, itd.

Daleko od dubine riječi alkemija, ovdje se radi o uključivanju promatračevih vizija budućnosti i dalekih mjesta u prvi plan, na trenutak.

Ovaj rad se također igra s paravanima, maskama i preprekama, svim onim što može utjecati na vizije ili ih umanjiti.

Subjekt nas gleda unatrag kroz crne naočale.

Kada se nalaziš u nepregledno otvorenom prostoru (ispunjenim zvijezdama, prostoru izvan atmosfere ili prostoru mišljenja), navođen si na razmišljanje i predviđanje, izmišljati priče ili uzmaknuti.

(Ben Cain)
