Bird, the Thread, and the Open Sea<\/em><\/strong> reimagines Farid al-Din Att\u00e2r's Conference of the Birds as an experience of orientation rather than a story to be followed. The project asks how a journey can begin before departure, and how fragments of myth can become coordinates for an inner passage. The series unfolds through three interconnected chapters: <strong><em>Wings (after Att\u00e2r)<\/em><\/strong>, <strong><em>archipeLogos<\/em><\/strong> and <strong><em>Thirty Birds<\/em><\/strong>. Each translates a different aspect of the poem into material, spatial or sonic form, progressively displacing the journey from narrative time into navigable space.<\/p><p data-stagger=\"0.08\" data-speed=\"1\" data-lag=\".2\" class=\" liko-animated-text-widget tp-el-animation-heading tp-section-title-span-padding tp_fade_bottom tp-animated-text-paragraph\" style=\"margin-bottom:1.5em;\">At the centre of the project, <strong><em>Wings (after Att\u00e2r)<\/em><\/strong> brings together five monumental textile wings suspended in space. Inspired by birds from Att\u00e2r's poem, they are detached from any body and held in tension by cords anchored to sandbags on the floor. The wings remain caught between gravity and ascent, while their visible supports transform them into forms suspended somewhere between anatomical fragments and sails. Nothing flies, yet the possibility of departure is held within the work.<\/p><p data-stagger=\"0.08\" data-speed=\"1\" data-lag=\".2\" class=\" liko-animated-text-widget tp-el-animation-heading tp-section-title-span-padding tp_fade_bottom tp-animated-text-paragraph\" style=\"margin-bottom:1.5em;\">The cords trace lines of force, while the sand acts as ballast, shifting the work from an aerial image towards a maritime one. Opposing forces hold one another in place: weight and lift, anchoring and departure, earth and sky. Nothing physically moves, but every element remains oriented towards movement. The wings occupy the unstable threshold before passage, when a journey has not yet begun but has already become imaginable.<\/p><p data-stagger=\"0.08\" data-speed=\"1\" data-lag=\".2\" class=\" liko-animated-text-widget tp-el-animation-heading tp-section-title-span-padding tp_fade_bottom tp-animated-text-paragraph\" style=\"margin-bottom:1.5em;\">In <strong><em>archipeLogos<\/em><\/strong>, long translucent blue textiles embroidered by hand carry fragments of Att\u00e2r's poem in English. Distributed throughout the space, the text can no longer be read in a linear sequence. The poem is broken apart and recomposed as a fragmented geography through which the visitor must move, connecting distant passages and constructing temporary routes between them. Narrative is no longer contained on the page; it becomes landscape.<\/p><p data-stagger=\"0.08\" data-speed=\"1\" data-lag=\".2\" class=\" liko-animated-text-widget tp-el-animation-heading tp-section-title-span-padding tp_fade_bottom tp-animated-text-paragraph\" style=\"margin-bottom:1.5em;\"><strong><em>Thirty Birds<\/em><\/strong> extends this displacement into sound. Recordings of birds gathered during a journey through Mesopotamia are combined with whispered fragments of Att\u00e2r's poem spoken in the artist's voice. Words emerge, hesitate, return and dissolve into silence. The written poem becomes voice, rhythm and atmosphere, surrounding the visitor without imposing a single direction of listening.<\/p><p data-stagger=\"0.08\" data-speed=\"1\" data-lag=\".2\" class=\" liko-animated-text-widget tp-el-animation-heading tp-section-title-span-padding tp_fade_bottom tp-animated-text-paragraph\" style=\"margin-bottom:1.5em;\">The installation cannot be grasped at once. Its wings, cords, shadows, sounds and shifting surfaces form a porous labyrinth that must be entered rather than observed. The visitor walks through a fable that has become geography, tracing correspondences and reconstructing a dispersed myth.<\/p><p data-stagger=\"0.08\" data-speed=\"1\" data-lag=\".2\" class=\" liko-animated-text-widget tp-el-animation-heading tp-section-title-span-padding tp_fade_bottom tp-animated-text-paragraph\" style=\"margin-bottom:1.5em;\">Their path becomes the kinetic dimension of a body of work that remains physically still \u2014 an interior navigation within an environment held in suspension. The voyage no longer resides in the birds, but in the experience of passage: an internal displacement made tangible through matter. Stillness becomes a medium rather than an absence, allowing a form of navigation without physical displacement.<\/p><p data-stagger=\"0.08\" data-speed=\"1\" data-lag=\".2\" class=\" liko-animated-text-widget tp-el-animation-heading tp-section-title-span-padding tp_fade_bottom tp-animated-text-paragraph\" style=\"margin-bottom:1.5em;\"><strong><em>The Bird, the Thread, and the Open Sea<\/em><\/strong> uses the fragment as a way of approaching the intimate. Existing elements \u2014 myths, verses and images \u2014 are recomposed into an interior narrative. In this shift, the birds are no longer characters but internal coordinates: not psychological portraits, but directional axes through which an inner cartography takes shape.<\/p><p data-stagger=\"0.08\" data-speed=\"1\" data-lag=\".2\" class=\" liko-animated-text-widget tp-el-animation-heading tp-section-title-span-padding tp_fade_bottom tp-animated-text-paragraph\" style=\"margin-bottom:1.5em;\">They do not appear as naturalistic animals, but as carriers of human interiority \u2014 mediators for what remains instinctive, unstable or difficult to articulate. What is explored is not a fixed identity, but a multiplicity of possible orientations: parts that must be assembled rather than expressions of a stable essence. Fable and animal are not detours, but methods for approaching what moves within us even when the body remains still.<\/p><p data-stagger=\"0.08\" data-speed=\"1\" data-lag=\".2\" class=\" liko-animated-text-widget tp-el-animation-heading tp-section-title-span-padding tp_fade_bottom tp-animated-text-paragraph\">Nothing moves, and yet a journey takes place.<br \/>The poem becomes space.<br \/>Space becomes passage.<br \/>The passage becomes interpretation.<br \/>What unfolds is not flight\u2014but a way of inhabiting the immobile.<\/p><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e933e16 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\"
