Ich - I: Tell me who I am
Metamorphosis

Anker 1

Metamorphosis is a multimedia installation I did in collaboration with Nick Colecchia. The goal of the project is to transfer and develop the essence of Metamorphosis captured in the initial painting through different media

First, I created the middle piece of the paintings. In a second step, Nick improvised with his drums and spoken word inspired by my painting. We then created the sound together and divided it into three parts: Vibrating silence, the lyrics forever, and heartbeat.

Each of us created a poem and we wrote Part 3 together.

Finally, we created a video. The video was shot by Andrew Morales and edited mostly by me and Andrew Morales in the presence of Nick.

Metamorphosis characterizes the process of change within us. We are influenced by our current environment and the traces other people left within ourselves.

We hope that every person is able to connect their personal Metamorphosis to our installation.

The installation is currently on display at the store next to the 116th station in Rockaway.

It is part of the effort to bring art into the public space, back into the daily life of people.

Please leave a comment/your reaction/thoughts/feelings to Metamorphosis on my Instagram account @realfictionart or send an email/ audio file to realfictionart@gmail.com. I will collect all responses and use them for the next audio installation.

We will also have a live performance in the near future. 

The date will be announced soon.

Thank you for becoming a part of Metamorphosis.

PART 2
PART 1

Für immer (forever)

 

Deep

down

down

underneath

                      Breath

Drops of

                      You

Me

You me me you you

Me

Drops of me

Crawling

Slowly

ripping through

Cement

Walls

flooding

thick black streams

rushing   reaching

forming steel capturing waves

Overwhelming me

Overcoming busted

holy ground

Bathing us in

Everlasting

concrete

 

cracks splitting

fine drawn lines

Splitting

the woven patterns of

Us

Dipping into sacred ground

 

A darkness bearing

Shimmer

Touching my everlasting

Pulse

Deep down underneath

                           buried

are you.

We are

the catalyst

For the metamorphosis

Silent chrysalis

 

Forever growing

Forever flowing

 

Wrapped

In the fingers

Touching

An everlasting thought

 

Spiritual being

 

Can you see? (both people together)

 

The still creatures

That can live freely

A shark in the ocean

A fish in the sea

 

Shadows

Casted by the light

 

Relative

to The Perspective

 

As you flow

On the thread of fate

 

As the current in a river

As the blood in your veins

 

Irrational fear

Nothing but memories

From

Past life scenes

 

Imaginative potentialities

 

The future leans

But you see

See the seams

Of overlapping

Past life seams

Existential dreams

 

Embers

To the trees

 

Souls on fire

 

Just another transformation

 

To spread your wings

PART 3

I see you

 

Do You?

 

                          I see you

                            You are us

 

We are us

Don't you see?

 

I can see

 

                            you are us

 

I see so clearly.

There can’t be an us

Before the Me.

 

We (both)

 

                            Why can’t you see

                            What I see

                            The beauty

                            That is “we”

 

There is no we

Before there is

you

And me

 

        (We)

 

                            if there is no we...

                            Who is me?

                            We!

                            You.

                            Me?

 

You!

 

                            Me?

 

We!

You!

Me!

 

We.

 

      Me.....
