"To be present instead of presenting. My work is not a performance of any kind, not consultancy, not psychiatry, nor something mystical. It has less to do with 'showing', and more with 'being' and 'seeing'. Not the theoretical, philosophical idea, but the act of 'seeing' together, with all our senses, concerning a specific question in a visual way. Breaking the borders between different elements and binding them together at the same time. To be able to look at anything and to see more, to the point that is causes a change, a moment of transformation. To touch what seems to be untouchable, defined, directed, a dead end - and to continue beyond.

A metaphor is for me a realtive transparency, the result of an opverlapping of things (like spectrum forms 'transparant' white light). It is a present space, ap resent meeting point. The intensity in it makes us feel. A metaphor, like a work of art, is a lens within which one can see much more layers, much more angles. It is the point where they meet and sharpen each other, amplify the essence, telling more about each element and tranforming the meaning of the whole. In the world of metaphors everything is connected, by looking at one thing you see the other.

Less to force, less to organise, less to manipulate. To sharpen the charge of particles which crystallise by themselves into a new form, a new phenomenon, a creation. In practice, how can a merely personal way of looking contribute? Is it possible that we are looking at the samen question? To draw a bow, to gain from difference in order to release an arrow. Where will the arrow land?" (Roé Cerpac)

Roé Cerpac was off and on present during the project and lectures.
