collecting atmosphere

we had a nice softspoken austrian lady who collects atmosphere
she presented her work to us today, told us of her approaches and methods
i was intrigued

she said
"all emotions are OBJECTIVE"
supports the theory that we share a common 'denominator' with regards to our understanding of Space
invisible Space being unseparated from the visible

she created a net to test the atmosphere and to be more aware of her own movements in Space
i didn't know what she caught in her net
nor did i ask
she made drawings of the life of surrounding Space

i DID ask her, though
what went through her mind as she made those drawings
she answered, "nothing"

against the backdrop of the magnified screensaver, a projection from her computer
i realised her explorations were as ethereal as someone playing a piece on a piano

"everything you perceive at any moment is a creation"


stupefied. for now, i create.

kari: yeah... we were all kinda stumped and commenting on that one too. her works are site specific, so she explores peoples' feelings with regards to that particular space. her point of view is that for someone walking into a cathedral, the underlying feeling is one of awe, etc.

she's currently here in melbs working with the aborigines on collecting sacred atmosphere.
