“(…) And we will meet beyond the invincible differences, sands, rocks, years, now alone, celestial swimmers, castaways of the heavens.”
Pedro Salinas, La voz a ti debida
Sky Castaways: two entities catapulted into the tunnel of eternity. Two Beings find themselves like fossils of what they were in the last instant of their conscious reality. Will they reach a destination, or is the very reason for their absolute existence itself in a state of “becoming”? Their new transdimensional life seems mute and static, but it is in constant adaptive micro-macro transformation. Between immediately contradicted déjà vu and potentially infinite cycles of beginnings and endings, bodies crystallize into deformations on the threshold of becoming animated. Their orbits in perpetually changing motion suggest the realization of a sense of eternity in an apparent fixity. As in a tessellation of events, the bodies’ experiences change in a progression of interlocking and image associations. Similarities and oppositions, phase shifts and inversions, rotations and translations mark the pace of dreamlike visions and mutating iconographies that structure the loss of oneself in endless instants. And then, who knows.
