That Mighty Wirelessness, 2018(performance)/70843/Eva-and-Jessicarcarcar.pdf
After all is not ‘just there’, stagnant and inert. And it’s not that it isn’t announced and so it becomes voyeuristic – we’re aware of its presence in the space and of how much it interferes with, and remembers, that which is happening in there.
These agglomerated considerations, stories, decisions and gestures, also amalgamate that which we do with it, in front of it, around it and behind its back(s). It might not be vigilant (I would rather it isn’t), but it relinquishes its apparent severity – it lets itself be impressed upon, and reflects back. Not quite like a mirror – more like a book, it starts reading more between the lines, different intonations here and there confer it yet another significance.
It does witness and it does record that which it is witnessing – shapeless, formless, ever-changing, until you lose it. When it becomes ungraspable then there is something else.
Its agility relies on its energy for initiation – and impressibility. However, it is not that stern, not how I live it. Its memories are constantly displaced, re-arranged and re-imaghined (the way I live it).
