Tantalus
all the ideals are measured by their genuinity. how genuinely do we approach each other. how genuinely do we create? artless art, artless writing, can we bear ourselves and the world around us as it is, can we show it, its disease, can we make a change.
an exaltation, the urge to change, is the beginning of a life, constant exaltation can lead to its end, it’s only the proof of something that is not destined to bring us what we need but to open the kernel of what is there, as what there is without our bodies, in constant wisdom, in constant death, a revelation is the ingredient of a product that we enable to be something that is needed, something completely ours, not no-one’s, not the obsession, neither a posession, something intelligible, something to be amidst us, the whole physical fraction of our absent-minded formations that is our world.
In collabortation with my friends Superbat Wilford (The Avenue), Angus Frost (The Avenue) and wonderful Jonathan Hallam we created a piece of work called “Tantalus” that is showing our experience of the apocalypse of freedom in London and the urge to create an intimate portrayal of our life together that is a force against this development around us. You could say, we were bored by our surrounding and wanted to share an alternative. As squatters, who live together, we saw free spaces and objects in London vanishing, we see culture and art loosing their free means of expression to mechanisms of designing and pleasing, we see election’s outcome as a face-cum on the freedom of expression, on the freedom of genuine experience of life. The piece of work “tantalus” creates a sacred space free of the space surrounding it and free of our time.
