IN THE RIFT, WHERE TIME IS SUSPENDED

01junAll Day01julIN THE RIFT, WHERE TIME IS SUSPENDED

Event Details

“Humanised barking dogs, dehumanised fragmented bodies, psychedelic letterings, nonsensical games, nonsensical all are gathered in a space, in some spot of the crevasse where time is deformed; where all aspects of life have become strange and out of the ordinary, as chaos is the order; where the creative act is crushed by the absurdity of producing art.

Art. Yes, it has become incongruous within the fatal anarchy. Within the slow spectacular carnage. Time is pending, life is pending, the universe is pending.

Art-making, the result of amassed years of observation, the depiction of the observed things, add another perforation, holes in the walls of memory and time.

Let there be an absurd display of art over a vanishing land, over our worthless bodies. A salute to the devastating madness.”
