The making of Breathing Statues here.
Watch the video for Fall In here.
“They both wanted to exchange bodies, exhange faces. There was in the both of them the dark strain of wanting to become the other, to deny what they were, to transcend their actual selves” - Anaïs Nin
Breathing Statues. The second in a series of audio recordings.
We were young and impressed by the colors. We watched, fascinated by the way the people moved in the park, by the actions and shapes they evoked; the monks sweeping leaves into ochre lines under white temples, the schoolgirls like blue robins or tiny mackerels weaving in gracefully through tiny stone streets and looming oblique structures. The leaves cast a shadow in the Fall which penetrates the stones and touches down below, deep into the underbelly: deep into the dirt and worms and bodies and blood, now coagulating with the oils and lava, bubbling in the heart of the infinite only to resurface rapidly towards a tiny phosphorescent point, a luminescent prickle on the earth’s crust made up of buildings and little colored lights. It reaches New York, Nueva York, νέα Υόρκη, Nyūyōku: Manahatta.
Breathing Statues. An ode to a new type of insect. We have our feelers out and there are more oppurtunities as to what can truly be probed, examined, caressed, touched, cross-examined, learnt, known (but never understood). A landscape of violence and grace.
A fragment of glass falls from the ghost of a tall building and lands in a way that no-one may predict, yet there is an order from a distance. It is both a part of us and beyond our reach. Some say time is speeding up. Nanosecond trends. But there is no forward, no backward, and just the present moment alone - a dance of crystalline fragments sparking across the pool of the infinite.
With love.
Melati Malay & Isaac Emmanuel.
