There is something particularly uncanny
about the experience of duplicates.
The strangeness that occurs when one is similar to
but not quite the same.
Whether in the tried repetition of a performance
or the re-enactment of a lost battle
whether the return to a beloved city
or the embrace of a new lover
it is in this act of duplication
the very attempt at replication that
only exacerbates the differences that now exist.
it is in the differences between Factum 1 and
Factum 2
that remind Rauschenberg of his inability to recreate
a masterpiece
twice
it is in gravity's insistence on paint
where repetition seems unthinkable
and yet a tear tends to fall in the same place twice
even if it has long forgotten its trail
home
About Me
- Natalia
- Art is the space where cultures coalesce, the medium in which people culminate to create, and the time when coexistence is not only possible but compulsory. Dance is the language of those who cannot be heard, poetry the eyes of those blinded by surrounding injustices, theatre the space where one transcends the boundaries of one’s given circumstances. Art liberates, empowers, and heals. It conceives when humanity destructs. I never crawled when I was learning how to locomote. I sat and then I waddled and now I dance. I am a recent Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Psychology and Dance from Stanford University.
