Serie 2 - December 2002
This series is a journey along the way that leads to human knowledge. This journey states that the process that constructs human knowledge is simple, whenever it acknowledges the vital role of the human body, with its language, and its constitution. Western cultures tend to forget the body element: but some individuals (among others, Annie Sprinkle and Candye Kane have quite a peculiar, exciting, logical approach) work in the opposite direction. I'm learning their lessons.
The awareness of the human body, with its shapes, colors, textures, and all the emotions that come from it, with the softness and the hardness, and all the thin, round, slanted, enflated, sleek, concave, convex, thick, different shapes simply can't be forgotten by the progress of mankind. They all belong to the logic structure.
Our exploration begins in Murano, Italy, watching a beautiful glass. Its shape wraps centuries of people, stories, craftsmanship and traditions. As the glass rotates and acquires form in our mind, our cosciousness and senses take a twist. In the same way, the eyes of Mae West understand. As we watch her, we rebuild the curves of her body into other forms of thought. We can drool upon those shapes, as we construct and expand the knowledge of the human kind. This way, her body becomes a paraphrase of her own observations and our own deductions.
