LUCA TREVISANI INTERVAL TRAINING
mehdi chouakri
The underlying indeterminacy of the physical world, and perhaps all the more so our experience of it, reserves a rebuke for any kind of fixity. Salvation is not in the closed shape of things. Getting in contact with Floating Bananas is entering into an event of relations. It’s about composing relationships; it’s about energies, but energies without qualities. Pure energies. Stages of vagueness, of definition, of realities opened to the flow, to our own determination through change. A living sculpture that addresses questions concerning the construction of communities as well as potential locations of social and political alliances between people. Learning from Sir Isaac Newton’s combined motions, we can set up an excellent instrument through which looking at the world. The only way to understand things is to make a small model that can be hold in hand, to alienate them from the everyday. — Luca Trevisani, 2011
