The end of the binary gaze.
I am here.
You can deny me, with your zeros and ones eyes, not able to look beyond the framework of your own life and world.
But I am still here.
I may not look the way you want me to look, you want the world to look, with clarity and easily fileable words.
Man. Woman.
Strong. Weak.
Gay. Straight.
Good. Bad.
The world is a place of complexity, chaos, greyscales and noise. To make sense of this world humans invented gods, rituals, codes, norms and rules to make sense. To get grip. Not knowing what would get lost by doing that. The noise, the infinite greys, the beauty…
But the world isn’t having it. Slowly, but steadfast, without hesitation, it shows us what is lost. What we can gain. The spaces between, the confusion, the not-knowing, the openness, the transparency, the freedom…
A wise man once said to me:
‘If you name things, you gain power. To not name things, you gain freedom.’
In the past I desperately tried to name things, enjoying the power it gave me, the manipulation it gave me. Now, I am in a process of unnaming things, which is much harder to do. What if I see you without a name?
The world asks us to see everything and everyone for what they are. Not for what you want them to be.
I invite everyone to look at this work
without gods
without rituals
without codes
without norms
without rules
without names
Open your eyes and enjoy
the space
the confusion
the not knowing
the openness
the transparency
the freedom
