THIRD GESTURE ITEM
published 2025 Stockholm
The Third Gesture Item looks at the flotsams, the constant tide of materials being washed on the shores of sidewalks, holding a hand underneath a shape to see what else it might become, flipping it on the surface of time like a flat stone being hurled over the water surface to observe its gravitational negotiation. Each contact takes it further until the speed does not sustain, is not enough and the stone sinks to the bottom of the sea, where the tide and waves are moving it again. It is the third gesture as I count the opening of the package as the first which is followed by a meant-to-be radius that leads to the second gesture of sorting out, of not any-longer, of breakage: There is a beginning, an ending here and a question: What now, what else? The third gesture opens a new linearity that takes the end as a start. A start that is not „new“ , not polished, not a quality but an indication for a new entanglement that entails all its partial and previous gestures.
