Game Of Nonsense

The exhibition Field of Reception was a singular experience for me, for it inscribed itself into the very meaning of PROCESS in a strangely organic way – dispensing knowledge about myself in carefully measured doses, and ultimately bestowing a gift of unimaginable magnitude.

The field of reception has been maturing within me for a long time; I am continuously learning to experience it and, in fact, to recognize its presence at all. The subtitle of the exhibition, invoking the act of listening, concerns an attempt to hear what resonates within me — within us, as human beings. The field of reception is ourselves: the totality of our being, the delicate surface upon which feeling and thought take shape.

And at the very center of this field there exists something that bends probability itself, while simultaneously opening a gateway to infinity and to oblivion. This point – flickering, almost impossible to seize — is also a portal into the interior of our sensing, the very core of human existence. One may attempt to look toward it and not go blind. Usually, when we enter that space for even a fraction of a second, everything feels lucid. And yet, in the next moment, we forget. Still, it is precisely there that the most essential impressions of existence reside – the truest window onto reality.

Perhaps, then, it is worth leaning in and listening, in silence, to what is taking shape there.

Tabula Rasa – evoking the notion of the blank page as a fresh, unwritten mind – becomes here an expression of the paradox of ’emptiness’: the complexity and chaotic entanglement of the Fold confronted with the white, unmarked paper. This is my field of reception: infinite, empty, fluctuating.

In a certain sense, I shape my field of reception each time I calibrate my practice toward it. It resembles the act of bringing something into focus — with each step I draw nearer, I see more, and yet the direction in which I move remains utterly undefined. No path is given; I must scent it out from the evaporating meanings of fleeting moments. It is a blind procession – one in which I learn to place my trust in a sense other than logic.
