Circling
Roundness as an intrinsic characteristic of a natural being is a quality that prevails over the maturity of Primitivity. It represents a cyclical timeline that manifests itself all throughout the repetitions of naturally occurring events. The growth rings of a Tree represent a detailed and organised timeline in relation with their environment; when a Tree dies and starts to dry, the rings themselves start to separate and crack, detaching themselves from the Past, still reflecting the old being but accepting a new beginning. The wood starts loosing its structure and the rings’ relation with time in space, disappears. The installation “Circling” is an intervention that aims to create a ceremonial moment of peace and stitch together the loop of natural progression; while drawing traces of other trees’ growth rings that were were not able to decay and decompose in their own Natural environment.
\[…\] the formula "being is round" is to become an instrument that will allow us to recognise the primitivity of certain images of being. \- The Poetics Of Space, Gaston Bachelard
