Unfolding Nowhere

Welcome to Unfolding Nowhere.

This is a piece I developed during the Covid-19 quarantine.

It started with the drawings and text, as a ritual, as a healing process, every night for a whole week.

It was a process of improvisation in dialogue with the paper, the tools, the watercolor, and myself. No plan involved, or relation to other things. A reaction to what was there at every moment. Each drawing was started and finished the same night. It was not a process of art, but what I call a process of nature.

Weeks after, the music would follow. Each musical piece would be based in one of the drawings and texts. Again, the process of creation was more like sculpting sound on the moment than composing.

After finishing the last piece, it seemed that it worked as a whole, and this is what I call Unfolding Nowhere. This was not done to be shared, and still I share it with some of you. I ask you to be aware of the intimacy. Anyway, If you want to share it with some specific people, you are still allowed.

Every movement has an image, a text, and a musical piece. I would like you to first observe the image, read the text attentively, and then listen to the music (ideally using headphones). Once the music is finished, you can continue with the next movement.

If you start, I ask you to commit to finish the whole piece – it will take around 30 minutes -.

Any response to it, in the form of poem, drawing, sound or text, is very welcome!

Fluids, densities, overwhelmed. The capacity of understanding the virtual. Breaking strata, creating new acts. A silent moment of actualization. Change of state. Feel the overwhelming pressure of a suddenly densified virtual field. A small Big Bang.
