2008 DEZ & Naturkunde Museum REGENSBURG (DE)

« ADLER FLIEGT » (L’aigle vole) in a shopping mal in with the nature museum of REGENSBURG juxtaposing artworks in diverse media. 

As for me, mixed techniques with rose thorn collages as well as shamanistic rituals.

Choosing the mall as a place of shamanic exhibition and performance is an act of resistance. This space, dedicated to flow, consumption and immediate desire, is today one of the central places in our society. To introduce an ancestral ritual practice amounts to reintroducing a sacred, invisible but essential dimension.

The shamanic performance acts as an opening: a breach in the ordinary rhythm, an invitation to slow down, to feel, to reconnect. There in one of those temples of consumerism where everything pushes to purchase and distraction, the ritual offers presence, listening and memory. It is not addressed to a prepared audience, but to beings in movement, available despite themselves to an unexpected inner experience. Exposing my work in this context allows art to leave the consecrated spaces to become alive, crossing, accessible again. The shopping center then becomes a place of passage transformed into a space of resonance, where the sacred and the profane meet, rub each other and reveal each other.

This approach aims to reenchant the ordinary, to remind that the spiritual is not separate from everyday life, but that it can emerge everywhere, even in the heart of the most materialistic places.
