SLEEP PROJECT 2011

Browse through the five days! (stop-motion video by Panayotis Lambis)




DAY 1: Aëla Labbé









DAY 2: Maro Bizarro





DAY 3: Anna Tzakou


“Body, mind and outer environment are constantly moving. To freeze one of these elements is to be stacked in our own concepts, to be afraid of the unknown, the empty space”  
Marcia Wang Shibata
Using live action, music and the edginess between living and creative space, we work from scratch with the present moment, the private and the public space. We slow down our process to investigate an unknown location (or is it a sanctuary?). We let it be and hang out long enough to witness what it will occur. This is the practice.
Anna Tzakou: performer
Dimitris Virtsionis: musician, sound designer
Stamatis Diamantopoulos: musician
This performance is dedicated to all those who in periods of sleep insist in staying in a state of emergency.

“Rant “ by Diane DiPrima

You cannot write a single line w/out a cosmology
a cosmogony
laid out , before all eyes
there is no part of yourself you can separate out
saying, this is memory, this is sensation
this the work I care about, this is how I
make a living
it is a whole, it is a whole, it always was whole
you do not “make” it so
there is nothing to integrate, you are a presence
you are an appendage of the work, the work stems from
hangs from the heaven you create
every man / every woman carries a firmament inside
&  the stars in it are nit the stars in the sky
w/out imagination there is no memory
w/out there is no sensation
w/out imagination there is no will, desire
history is a living weapon in yr hand
& you have imagined it, it is thus that you
“find out for yourself”
History is the dream of what can be , it is
the relation between things in a continuum
of imagination
what you find out for yourself is what you select
out of an infinite sea of possibility
no one can inhabit yr world
yet it is not lonely
the ground of imagination is fearlessness
discourse is video tape of a movie of a shadow play
but the puppets are in yr hand
your counters in a multidimensional chess
which is divination
&  strategy
the war that matters is the war against the imagination
all other wars are subsumed in it
the ultimate famine is the starvation
of the imagination
it is death to be sure, but the undead
seek to inhabit someone else’s world
the ultimate claustrophobia is the syllogism
the ultimate claustrophobia is “it all adds up”
nothing adds up &nothing stands in for
anything else
THE ONLY WAR THAT MATTERS IS THE WAR AGAINST
THE IMAGINATION
THE ONLY WAR THAT MATTERS IS THE WAR AGAINST
THE IMAGINATION
THE ONLY WAR THAT MATTERS IS THE WAR AGAINST
THE IMAGINATION
ALL OTHER WARS ARE SUBSUMED IN IT
Τhere is no way out of spiritual battle
There is no way you can avoid taking sides
There is no way you can not have a poetics
no matter what you do: plumber, baker, teacher
you do it in the consciousness of making
or not making yr world
you have poetics: you step into the world
like a suit of readymade clothes
or you etch in light
your firmament spills into the shape of your room
the shape of the poem, of yr body, of yr loves
A woman’s life/ a man’s life is an allegory
Dig it
There is no way out of the spiritual battle
the war is the war against the imagination
you can’t sign up as a conscientious objector
the war of the worlds hags here, right now, in the balance
it is the war for this world, to keep it
a vale of soul-making
the taste in all our mouths is the taste of power
and it is bitter as death
bring yr self home to yrself , enter the garden
the guy at the gate w/ the flaming sword is yrself
the war is the war for the human imagination
and no one can fight it but you/ & no one can fight it for you
The imagination is not only holy, it is precise
It is not only fierce, it is practical
Men die everyday for the lack of it
It is vast & elegant
Intellectus means “light of the mind”
It is not discourse it is not even language
the inner sun
the polis is constellated around the sun
the fire is central
