MIRROR GOLEMMIRROR GOLEM
video installation
MIRROR GOLEM is inspired by two labyrinths outlined in two poems by Jorge Luis Borges:'The Mirrors' and 'The Golem'. Both deal with the limitations of perception and, therefore, of human condition.
In 'The Golem' the linguistic maze of man is posed. Since 'the Name is archetype of the thing ... all the Nile (is) in the word Nile'. We name things to be able to dwell in the world and, at the same time, everything exceeds infinitely its name. The Golem, a creature made of clay that a rabbi brought into life, was trapped, '(like us) in this sound network of Before, After, Yesterday, While, Now, Right, Left, me, you, Those, Others '.
In 'The Mirrors' the maze is visual. The world is multiplied to infinity. In the mirrors 'everything happens and nothing is recalled'. Man inhabits a world built with light reflections and memories; with mirrors and dreams.
AFTER, YESTERDAY, MEANWHILE, NOW, RIGHT, LEFT, I, YOU, THOSE, OTHERS, NAME, ESSENCE , GOD, GARDEN, KEY, DOOR, ECHO, GUEST, PALACE, LETTERS, TIME, SPACE, CRYSTALLINE, IMPENETRABLE, ILLUSORY, INFINITE, WORLD, ELEMENTAL, SLEEPLESS, FATAL, REFLECTION, LIGHT, ARCHITECTURE, DREAM.
