“But for the present age, which prefers the sign
to the thing signified, the copy to the original,
representation to reality, appearance to essence …

truth is considered profane, and only illusion is
sacred”

Ludwig Feuerbach

We have chosen to come here. To come to this place.
To be more than a bystander, or an onlooker.
A place that collides us; a place where a fusion may occur.
and once again we are alone
Because we all just want to be taken care of.
Because we all just want to be told it’s going to be okay.
and once again we are alone, together amplified, synchronised, multiplied.
Looking and being looked at, being seen and unseen, at the same time.
Inhabiting the place
accepting the inescapable gaze
of the all-seeing eye.
Breaks, pauses, absence of flow, tearing, disintegrating into each other, becoming one, more than one, forsaking the self.
Projecting selves.
Orbiting perceptions.
Driving ripples into darkness, longing to be told it’s going to be okay.
and once again we are alone
