Pomaire and the Power of Connection
Pomaire is a small Chilean town renowned for its artisan potters.
The act of creating community and the purposes we build allow us to believe in something, to dream. We believe in the potential meaning of a clay pot. We believe in the blossoming of a seed. We believe in an embrace. These beliefs allow us to connect with something that transcends potential communication barriers. Therefore, the performative act and the experience go beyond mere spatial dimensions, extending into the spiritual realm.
The experience, that which we treasure, enables us to expand, not only spatially but also spiritually.
A clay pot, as an object, captures forces and energies. Calculating the moment and area of its breakage remains fundamental to the concept of elasticity.
"Magical Suspension" invites us to reflect on the body in its spatial and social relationships and transformations, confronting the concepts of creation and destruction. When I cut an elastic band, the materiality transforms, the space transforms. So too does the experience – that which is impalpable, yet allows us to imagine and believe.
