Circumlocution

 

 

Close your eyes

Open skin, ears, antennae, tentacles, pores…

Allow what is around you to touch you

Continuously and unquestioningly

Let curiosity be stronger than fear

Surrender instead of control

The diversity of structures, surfaces, textures, temperatures, forms…

Accompanied by movement… even if imperceptible

Encounter,

negotiation,

conditioning

How do I change what I touch, and how does what I touch change me?

How deeply does my imprint penetrate the environment, and

the imprint of the environment into me?

Gradually open your eyes

Touch with your eyes

Stroke surfaces, lean into colors, allow forms to touch you

Without assigning meaning

Without recognizing what you already know

Let what is around become the center

And become the environment yourself

Shift from center to periphery

Wrap around, embrace

What is near and what is distant…

the sky, a cloud, a star, or the light that remains of it.
