INSÂN

 

INSÂN addresses the question of living memory, inexorably destined for oblivion. Like a mobile suspended in fragile balance between the weight of memory and the lightness of forgetting, INSÂN plays with this dichotomy to sublimate the gravity of bodies and their celestial emergence. The piece unfolds in a landscape of stone and rubble, witnesses of our history as much as of its erasure. INSÂN subtly reflects the harshness of this contemporary reality, where remnants are celebrated with batons. By laying down the weight of our memories upon this ground, could we live more freely, dance more lightly?

 

INTENTION NOTES 

We busy ourselves with splitting open the flesh of the earth, bleeding it with the trace of our passing.

 

In this age of globalization and growth so often entwined with the loss of identity, the fading of memory, stone appears to me not only as tomb, but as something alive: holding within it the comfort of permanence.

 

To be carried by this granite carpet, resonant with a thousand imprinted steps; to lie down, surrendering the full weight of one’s body to this marble slab that has cradled our ancestors. To taste their past by gathering the breath of their invisible presence. Then, perhaps,I will no longer fear my own

finitude, and I will be able to dance, lightly, upon the stone. Let others remember that once I also passed there
