CONCEPT:
Within every single one of us there is an abandoned house, that
lies forgotten, where we must return in order to meet ourselves. A
house where doors are crooked, where window panes are broken,
where grass grows through the floor and branches of trees pierce
the empty window frames. It is our hidden world, a world we left
in our childhood.
There comes a moment when we try to stop going forward and
return to the place where we once met our first fears and first pain,
our real, visceral, and animal experiences...
It is vital that we return to that place where we used to meet our
feelings, the feelings we have been trying to escape for so many
years, thinking we have forgotten them, but in fact they still live
with us, they influence our lives.
We need to return to where we are naked and vulnerable children
again, where we stop playing social roles, where the influence of
the outside world ceases to exist; to return, to step into the darkness
from which we escaped. We need to step into the darkness
to meet our fear, to confront that monster and to recognize it, to
descend to our roots where we will face our fear and for the first
time we will not run; we will stay with it, join it and dissolve in
it. This time we need to stop and look back and ask ourselves a
question – where am I?
This is the time to return to our personal story, to recognize it and
remember it, understand and accept it and to be free from it. To
stop and then to return to the beginning.
