Nicht eine Stadt, die war, in situ


It is not about death

It is about the virtual and the real.

About the real and its nature.

It is about so natural that seems unreal,
and distortion that is true.

It is about bodies in spaces

In places looking for them…

It is about fabric, fluid, water like it.
It is not about death,

It is not about a city that doesn’t exist
It is not about memory
But about a celebratory existence of the new.

About the present that is in front,
Rising, turning into future
In present space

Onde presencialmente estou

It is about physicality
About the dough
About the power of physics and scientific looking through

Reliable - Perspective - incapable of being from one point.

It is about a space that is always a continuum:
vertically and horizontally.

It is about healing,
Sanus per Aquam,
It is about you - diving,
Me - observing
It is about Connection Interconnection and Interstitiality.

It is about you towards the hole
Leaning against
or under the whole.

A space that partially was non existent
If you didn’t, in it, exist
Now that you do
It is matter forever

It is the chance
The possibility
Of a reality, conceived, understood
It is not about preconception
It is The allowance for free conception
By you

Rising a city

A city of new beginnings

It is not about a city that was,
It’s is not about fixing
It’s is not about death

It is a sacred - standing - manifestation on being present
on zeitgeist
on you in space.
