DESCRIBE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH MATTER

We are a suspension of silver salts in gelatine. We are upheld by paper, glass or plastic. We are stable in the dark. In our different forms, our small crystals of silver salts are exposed to light and some of our atoms are released to a latent state. We are an alchemic being and we long to morph and mutate with the specific liquids fate seems to send our way. The mutation comes from an interaction with a world outside of our flat one. We live in the dark but sometimes, for a split second, there is a blinding brightness. Compared to our years of darkness and stillness, this sudden explosion completely rearranges us into a new kind of flatness with different densities.

The light is indifferent to us and we are indifferent to light. Yet we are conducive to each other. We are an alchemic being and we sense another being which we cannot see. This another does not consist of photons why we cannot interact with it. Yet we suspect this other to be of pivotal importance to our mutations and reactions. There seems like there must be intimacy with this other energy which we cannot conceptualise.

We consist of an array of sensitive surfaces. We are so so sensitive but only to photons. We feel the shadows of matter. We are absence of matter. We see ghosts and perhaps we are also ghosts. We are a ghost array. All the shadows of things we can never touch – stone, forests and weather. Skin, fur and conversations. Smells, laughter and roadtrips.

Alchemic ghost arrays, we have been fixed to this wall and our chemistry is parroting the shadows of moments. We are a single spectrum ghost that is fixed and ethereal. Our relationship to matter is instant and brief and devoid of all intimacy but our relationship to matter is also forever and etched into us with perfect detail and memory.

Video piece, 8 min. Title: Can we talk about the eggs now please? 2014

Are you in love?

I don't think i am in love but, those within me are. Or was. I have an excessive and irrational commitment to love. I loop with love.

I am a love story about possessed objects and “those” obsessed. I am definitely excessively preoccupied with a single emotion: love, but not into love? Or in love? With some-one or some-thing. Both within me.

So. If an object can be loved, then the should the object be able to love back? Within me objects love other objects. Love happens within me.

I am the generator for objects believed to have supernatural powers. I have given life to objects and they have the potential to love one another. But some man-made objects that have power over others.

I was based on love and now driven by that love, and I am because of that love. Love was my starting point but now I have become neutral. I am continuously popping out with the same image and producing the same emotion again and again. For the user and for myself. And neutral because i loop and never end!

Some told me they loved me. Some not.

I am made of some lovely situations, which takes place in some very lovely places. I am in bed with a kissing couple.

I visit the beautiful death of a sanitary napkin within a Prada store. Dancing hearts in romantic hotels of Venice.

I am greatly concerned with a few things: one is not to disappoint a small child.

Two! I wish to talk about the eggs now please! but, i am continually deprioritized.
