You might
already have seen at photos or even RL a Chinese garden. They are not just
beautiful. Every item, stones, pathways, water, plants and pavilions have a
special meaning. The Confucian scholar is inspired to think about the miracle
of life by passing along.
That came
in my mind when Shellina Winkler kindly invited me to have s sneak preview on
her new installation. Enjoy life …this is not a rehearsal! What a strong sentence!
And so true! Shellina commented: “It was a sentence I found on a wall in London when I used to
live there and I loved it.” She built a
path of live that we can follow here and think about our own life’s. Her great merit is that she uses
colors and symbols
of a general understanding. Each visitor will
make his own
thoughts in this way.
The path is winded, has ups and downs as we all experience every day. We meet our thoughts and feeling, strongly
supported by the colors. The structure of the builds is translucent, that all
mingles different from every angle. I sometimes felt a bit lost by lack of
overview. A familiar feeling from my own life experience ;) And I had to smile
when I looked from inside to the squares outside. Our mind tries to get our
knowledge in boxes, but life is not like that….with luck we could understand
later in life what happened to us.
Some
parts of
the installation are combined with interactive
sounds. So make sure
that media is
enabled. Shellina asked me to set sun position on midnight. Back home I was not not happy with the results of my photos. I went back and have chosen EUPHORIA monochrome and Water glassy. Hope you like it.
I highly recommend
to visit this work!
Opening
is tomorrow 11.11.11. at 11.11 PM (2.11 PM SLT)
