Tile Project Space, Milan * 2015

Two-days workshop and exhibition submerged in the fog.
Soundrack by Charlotte Simon (Les Truc, MMODEMM, Mutandini Karl)

Pole Pole slows down the space that surrounds us:
by extending socially recognizable events,
by practicing waiting, being inhabitants of a
landscape that consists between you and others.

Together we were shaping performative sculptures,
we constructed two pounds, we demolished a soil mountain
and made mud with water coloured by natural elements.
We were balancing soil sculptures on our curves, bones and clothes.
Then we removed or cut away what we were wearing.
Now it’s lying on the floor or they jumped back in the lakes.
They are thick, waiting to get dry.

Pole Pole in Swahili means
slowly, gently, softly, quietly, be calm,
take it quietly, don’t excite yourself, never mind.
