Wooden posts along the paths of my movement through the neighborhood
made me think about fluff, eddies and of course, a cuff. In these, what seem
to me, continual efforts made visible through the numerous staples nailed on to the
posts, I see a record of movements – continual efforts to
change the direction of the movement of passers by within well-trodden routes and signage
systems. I see here attempts to cuff - bending, swirling, cuffing.
And perhaps another one…
What I see here is a weight of the building pushing in to the ground, contact of the masses that press into
each other….and then a lively movement of a plant, perhaps making visible folding/cuffing that is being released/created through this contact. Is it an excess of energy, or a residue that enables this new movement, cuff-ing.
And this was an exercise in positioning/sensitizing during our last class… Thinking how movement and positioning are important for cuff to be felt/seen/sensed
These are fantastic! I'll never look at a stapled pole the same way again...
ReplyDeleteFantastic. I felt these efforts for movement (from the plant, at the wooden posts) and the recording of movement on the staples at the same energy of an infrathin. Signs, memory, out of words in the border of language but yet language, yet sensed.
ReplyDeleteYes, the infrathin is definitely a cuff. And you can really feel its quality in these examples.
