“The night is full of secrets. She mirrors the secrets of existence.

Although the night is full of “revelation”, full of clearness, she is on the periphery of our existence. She slumbers literally in the background, she is in our dreams, in our deep sleep.

The night belongs to Lovers, the night is still and mild, full of silent promise. Night is silent presence.

Night covers us with a strange, nearly friendly, but incomprehensible greatness, while the harshness of the day constricts and reduces almost mercilessly.

During the daytime we are back on earth, we are being put down on the ground again, there, where night reveals the groundless.”

[Wido Blokland, Scintilla Animae, 2003 exhibition text]

De camera werd gemonteerd op een parallactische opstelling, d.w.z. parallel aan de aardas, en daarmee georiënteerd op de kosmische hemelbol. Hierdoor kon gedurende zeer lange belichtingstijden de bewegingsrotatie van, mijzelf en de gehele planeet samen, worden gecompenseerd.

De blik is ogenschijnlijk onbepaald, ‘dronken’ zou je kunnen zeggen, omdat een vaste horizon ten ene male ontbreekt. In werkelijkheid is zij echter gefixeerd op dat Andere…

[W.B. Scintilla Animae]

 

“De nieuwe ziening (…) is niet vanuit één bepaald punt: zij stelt het gezichtspunt overal en nergens bepaald. Zij stelt het niet gebonden aan plaats en tijd.”

[P. Mondriaan]

My brain-activity is literally born by electrons that survived the Big Bang. My body consists of carbon-atoms coming from second generation stars. Does the whole idea of “identity” turn out to be a hilarious error?

[2004]
