The way of progress/ solid materials
The work has been started with a poem about a cow who sees his home torns apart and swims to an island.
+ seven short stories about arrival.
From Story II: The rivers that flowed into the sea never returned.
‘…Somewhere I read that Andre Breton, a Surrealist, developed a method called ‘Exquisite Corpses’ to free the mind from logic and its connection to the inner knowledge of the unconscious.
In the group, people draw on a common picture. The first person starts a drawing on the drawing board, folds the paper to hide the design, and then passes it to the next person, who continues without seeing what was drawn before, and so on. The participants draw without knowing how the overall composition will evolve. They draw everything that comes to their mind, in an unconscious, trivial, clever or mysterious way. Only at the end is the alien image revealed and the overall composition emerges.’
The film supposed to be out in Spring 2023.
