About ENDLESS BECOMING - APARTMENT
In the moment we no longer choose “housing” as a place to live
Whether this event is reminiscent of the future or a long time ago
is in my obscure thought, or in a hidden corner of my memory
So, I hope you don’t mind it, because it doesn’t make much sense
Our home in this continuum of moments can be a department store
an art gallery or the bottom of a public swimming pool
Is that really a bed that you are looking down on, the place you are lying on?
Is that where you are watching you?
Whose house are you walking around?
Whose traces are we looking at, and what acts?
What does “who” mean?
What is left are afterimages of lives of the multitude
Once a space endures a time, it cannot choose the exterior of the inhabitants
It cannot intervene with its ethics, its morals
There is only one for the myriad
A life in a glass house
in the immediate future or far in the past
That desire has not been met with full reality
and the barricades have been dismantled (as you know)
A dream in daylight (Willful)
and a dream in the night (Fantastical)
Can you separate one from another?
Can you also be sure that you own it alone?
That this house should be our home
That sought-out intoxication for centuries
Are you certain
that you are not caught in the enchantment ab aeternitate?
