Everything Out There

 

Everything Out There, from the series Everything Out There, 2004.

About the series

Everything from outside is the question, the undefined object, the diffuse wish.

The body is the limit and this limit is the only certain thing.
These are empty moments, there is no event whatsoever, everything is circumstance.

Sometimes the conviction is to play the game indefinitely. The contact of one body with the other is the only reference, there is no reliable surrounding, the balance is precarious, the surface of support abandons, the other one lets go.
The force of gravity hides somewhere and the anchor is the conflict.

Like in the hours of insomnia, there is no landmark to draw the path.
And so things are … someone sings to himself as support, so that the echo sets the limits of everything that is inside.
Everything from outside, irremediably, remains outside. Inside is the abyss and desire, the crackle of anxiety and a song of consolation.
