The empty place we leave within us, waiting for the impossible to come true… The gap through which infinity oozes or the black hole that consumes life? The “space” between one movement and the next. The flicker of the Void… s. h.
I enter the black hole of space leaning towards the echoing sigh.
With my whole body I press into the crack of time a millimeter of a turn ahead of myself.
Pio Troski “Stalker. The inner garden”
Mind and body are falling
Falling is mind and body
Zen
The body was… […]
It wanted to break through the last walls with its head and get beyond them, into the “other world”. But “that world” is well hidden from man, that dehumanized, non-human world; and the life of being does not speak to man at all, unless it does so as man […]. So says Zaratustra.
(F. Nietzsche)
One of the inspirations was the late painting of Z. Beksiński.
Dance Butoh is a counterculture form of dance theater, which was born in Japan. Called “Ankoku butoh” – dance of darkness – it refers to expressionism and Antonin Artaud’s concept of theater of cruelty, as well as old rituals. It is itself a ritual exploring the darkness of the unconscious. It deliberately reveals hitherto forbidden areas of life. It is not based on any technique, and instead of choreography or dance position, it proposes “total presence” achieved by the dancer adopting a particular psycho-physical posture defined by the term butoh-body (jap. butoh-tai). It does not mean a physical body, but a state of mind, or rather a body-mind unity. This state of mind transcends the dualism of object-subject, consciousness-unconsciousness.
