The road to my own “heterotopia”
Presentation-performance by Maria Papacharalambous
Curated by the Milena principle - "Made of Walking"
“If the door of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite”. William Blake
Man is a "pre- and post-technological" entity that produces or reproduces his own algorithms only in real time, in the now. These form, his own matrix which he intentionally or unintentionally choses as the way forward.
Through a personal research, on my knowledge path, I found myself in front of various opinions and speculations, myths and truths. Through my desire to share them, I creatively intervene, raise questions, offer food for thought and raise awareness for an ontological evolution of consciousness; an awakening and awareness of our true being. My canvas and the final artwork, resemble the soul and mind of each one of us.
The requested outcome is to remember the “Truth” and discover together a new, a forgotten well-being; Art and Life as one. To reassess and redefine new social values; to put things in a new dimension and perspective for a new connection between the’ I’ and the ‘We’. My vision for humanity is to walk into new paths of spirit, ethos and practice.
“All these are one big Utopia but I set an appointment". Jacques Derrida
