Beckett Walk VII — another ghost dance — natureza e o selvagem em nós
performance-ritual with collective enveloping
* Paola Junqueira responds to my performance ritual with the video «to look at something that we cannot see» *
What Paola Junqueira wrote to me, explaining why she made this video
I just finished the video: «to look at something that we cannot see».
It was thanks to: 'another ghost dance - nature and the wild in us', that I chose a strong stone to take with me in this dance. This new video is a product of the unknown generated by the work of Dorothea Rust.
My special and deep gratitude goes to Dorothea Rust who makes us generate new energy and new thoughts through her work.
What I wrote to Paola in response to the her video
a video with a stone
what a beautiful stone video
to see how a stone
not just any stone
the stone you
you have carefully chosen
and carefully carried around
in a dance calling for the ghosts
the ghosts we need nowadays
this very stone
your chosen stone from all stones
and then and then and then
you dare you dar(e)ling
to let it professionally cut into half
*-* `^` .-. *-* `^` .-. *-* `^`
now there are two halves
one half for you and others
one half for me and others
for all yeah all really all who want
who need who are in need
of some inner strength and courage
yeah we all need some of it
can boost, pep, flavour
our lives with some of it
yeah you have opened it up
the stone cut into two halves
shows us its smooth greyish
well it could also be melting ice
this sooft greyish inner stone world
yeah it has a fascinating sheer consistancy
*-* `^` .-. *-* `^` .-. *-* `^` .-. *-* `^`
now it can spread
it can very much spread
I am sure everyone watching it
can feel something
may be quite something
may be faintly something
may be very much something
of its aston(e)ishing world
of its stone shining world
