ABOUT
IRST ARCH is about being present with my physical and emotional limits. Repetition gives a physical reality to experience. It’s not only about physicality, it’s a state of mind. This human architecture keeps on constructing and deconstructing itself in search of a harmonic equilibrium.
HER BODY A PRIMAL ARCH. IN HER BODY, THE FIRST ARCH. THE MEMORY OF A LARGE STONE ARCH. A BRIDGE. Repetition gives a physical reality to experience. To repeat , to try again, over and over again . The control as a proof of existence. A STATE. THE ARCH. THE DESTRUCTION OF THE ARCH. I do. I undo. I redo. The fear of falling. THE FORM HAS TO BE ABSOLUTELY STRICT AND PURE. A BODY.
