With all due respect, I will not be presenting my unfinished work on this platform.
If it was an intranet it would not be a problem but I am not ready to share this work with the rest of the world on the Internet.
I don't think that it is fair to force us to do so.
The work can be accessed on the common computer in LB studio when needed.
Thanks for understanding.
Essay
VERY VERY DRAFT OF MY REPORT ESSAY - don't mind the sloppy writing, just composing thoughts after 4:00am
The Absence:
The work gets its name from the state of somewhat-bearable weight of not-being: not being here, not necessarily meaning that the mind is somewhere else but that it created imaginary realities out of the real to avoid the weight and to exist in them simultaneously. To name its so-called existence, to give it a ‘meaning’ it calls for the Absence - as the meaning can only be revealed by its opposite.
The mind plays, erases, rewinds and rewrites itself. (One can exist only in it, it becomes the sole reality.)
The images play with erased (blackness) existence. Plays in layers. Disconnects from each other while relating. Self-destructing. Self-observing. Self-creating. It already passes the point of being overwhelming, it is just becomes the reality itself.
It changes itself trying to make room for new. It changes so fast to the point that it doesn’t recognize itself ever again. It tries to find itself forever.
