#1 MOVEMENT
“Never take for granted the forms that are already created in your mind before.
Ideally the form is created there”
words by Claudia Castellucci
Loving in a different way
In order to change the society
(Society’s ways of loving)
Love as a blanket
My Eros
Codified representation through repetition. Claudia's exercises.
Circle dance as a first encounter:
One step > two step (further)
Make a curtsy
One step (back)
Make a curtsy
~repeat
Linear perspective = Prejudice of looking at the world

Grote boer
de aarde zit in de mimiek van de boer
zijn beweging wordt gevormd door de cyclus
van zaaien en oogsten
zijn bovenarm is de rots
die het huis voedt waar hij naartoe loopt
zodra de zon zakt.
bekijk hem vanaf de zijkant, en hij lacht haast
als een schoolmeisje, die je net mooi hebt genoemd
sta recht achter hem, aan zijn linker zijde
dan begint de dans, zijn ogen richting de grond
het bloed dat raast vanuit zijn vingertoppen
door de van het vel springende aders
pulsend
richting zijn wangen
zijn schouders en borst staan open
voor aanraking
Grand Paysan
the magnitude of a peasant is mould by the earth.
his physique, his movement are scoped by the cycle of
sowing and reaping.
his upper arm the rock
that feeds the house he walks towards
when the sun sets.
view him from the side, and he seems to be withholding
a smile similar to a school girl, you just called pretty
stand behind him from the left and the piece starts
you’re dancing to a quatre-mains, his eyes facing the ground
blood rushing from his finger tips
veins jumping out of his skin
pulsing
to his cheeks
his shoulders and chest are open
to receive touch.
THE SONIC EXPERIENCE OF A LEEK:
#3 TOUCH
A singular trace of notoriously unfaithful drawings
Teas that may or may not have fallen in love
Evidence of an attempt at a faithful drawing
Remains of the virgin mother
