Estructuras de un tiempo moldeable: El rito contemplativo

Abstract

Time and space correspond and shape each other. When an accelerated time and performance is experienced, this same crazy condition is projected to the physical world, creating unviable, arrhythmic and blurred realities. To cope with this way of life, I decided to stop, to slow down my transit until I became confused with other temporal rhythms. Contemplation, as a practical exercise, reorganizes the physical image to make it more personal and enjoyable. It leads us to the elasticity of time and image. From the tarantella ritual I make a parallel between this accelerated subject and “the stupefied”, bitten by the spider of capitalism, where his only cure is to dance loudly to the sharp and vibrant music of the tarantella, until the spider explodes. To carry out this healing dance, I propose to build a ritual machine, which brings together, through the sound of the stones, the vibration of the spider web and the video of the hard work of the chircals, the same principle, the same dissolution of the illness. “Until my image breaks and becomes blank for a natural rhythm, for its own time.”
