Thinking Through the Moment
As if it were a state of suspension and not knowing how, experience of the world points to the existence of a specific space and time for each event. If we ignore this, it is possible that certain operations could never be performed. In any non-programmatic exploration, recognising the right moment amounts to agreeing to include it as a further ingredient in the process and on many occasions this even becomes the most determining factor of a result.
Time signs each experimental process by framing it within a real time, and it is only in those precise moments when certain relationships, analogies and correspondences which make it what it is are inserted. Jacques Coeur knew that fire needed to be present in each of the rooms when he built his house.
To disentangle the subject, opening it up to space and time and listening to the words we say without thinking, is to hear our body like the sounding board of a conscience that describes itself.
