Elements of Editing

Becoming sensory. Generating a kind of vertical language, self-logical, containing its own dynamic impulse. Sensation as the inductor of presence. A mind-nature wherein we perceive and create the world ; it is within nature that we experience most profoundly our own humanity as the Romantics would have it, but better, where we expecience the infinite, a pantheism which overcomes the trajectory of representation.The process is generous, it lets anything into its experiential orbit.

The mountain (Pilatus) can be seen from the gallery's front door. On the first monitor are images of me in the Vorraum, the time is morning, the day before the opening and I am thinking of my experiences here and upon the mountain, what actions I can perform and what I will perceive,thus the gallery/institution departs its vicarious tendence , it is activated, there are no distances between or within the modes nor the sites of production.

The second monitor shows the experience upon the mountain, originally conceived as a series of performance actions, which indeed it does contain, however sensations and intensities increase. The work becomes a self-generating machine, some type of inclusive edit, that has thought, language, perception action and nature, a temporal configuration of points. This is a differential value, an experience of the real, nature, or the real of the experience within nature, the inside-out; an experience of the senses; this is the productive machine, from which point there is the highest potential for the experience of freedom.
