A moment to reflect on the reflection:
As much as in the content of the video-journal as in the pages of this blog, I have been approaching different mediums which have allowed me to wonder how does one receive, how do I prepare the receiver, how different mediums hold space and time in distinctive ways. I acknowledge failures, my own and those of the chosen mediums.
Aside from the above, I gathered the following questions and brief considerations:
-Can I create space for reflection by cracking or blurring the territory I walk on? Gaps, interruptions, unreadable text, unclear image.
-How am I explicit while preserving a cryptical quality? Saying it without saying it.
-Do I hereby reflect on what I think or on how I shape thought? Looking and listening to the whole and the parts at once.
-How do I convince the receiver with contradiction? Reassuring them they are doing fine.
-Do the conditions I created in this blog allow for that entry point into my world that I am looking for? The parts make a whole.
-If my issue with definition is related to language, how do I use (a) language to de-define? Translating an unnamable essence to different forms, through which I attempt not to complete but to begin.
-How did the Body in Performance module raise these questions in me, to create the conceptual foundation for my reflection across several mediums? Colliding my own history and archive of thought with proposed philosophical, aesthetic, social, political messages.
-Can I consider this document an event? No answer, until I hear from you.
-How are you?
