Between Me and Myself

The body is a big sagacity, a plurality with one sense, a war and a peace, a flock and a shepherd.

Friedrich Nietzsche · Thus Spake Zarathustra, “The Despisers of the Body” (Thomas Common trans.) ↗

People and space at the meeting of light and shadow
People and space at the meeting of light and shadow
A solitary figure within a surrounding space
A solitary figure within a surrounding space
A solitary figure within a surrounding space
Figures blurred by movement
Figures blurred by movement
Figures blurred by movement
Walking feet and the ground
I hear myself calling myself, yet cannot give this voice a name. Longing holds me close, and tears me open.

Curatorial note

A line of people on an escalator, seen from the dark.
Figures blurred by movement
Figures blurred by movement
Empty seats and the space around them
Walls, doorways, lettering and objects left in place
People and space at the meeting of light and shadow
The chrysalis became a butterfly Trembling, trembling Still trembling, still moving Dancing on phoenix wings Behold this world of sensual beauty and yet, it cannot hold a single speck of dust

Francis Du · The Worm (excerpt)

A person in a dark sleeveless dress holds a flowering stem, its pale blossoms covering the eyes.
A person bows their head and crosses their arms, holding a rose in front of the face.
Close view of a torso and hands holding lily stems against a dark dress.
Close view of a shoulder and neck from behind, with white lace ribbons hanging from the hair.
Close profile of a head tilted back, with a rose near the forehead and its stem crossing the face.
