Supraporte

2005

The highest happiness of the threshold: not here, not there.

Endlessly thrown into the air anew, a slowly spinning coin appears. Its ballistic curve is followed in slow motion. The film can only be shown – this is a condition – above a passage.


Trespass ... match point ... threshold poetry …
Penetrate – guided by hope. Reach a threshold with a sense of longing that must not be lost through fulfilment. The highest happiness of the threshold: not here, not there. If you cannot linger at the threshold, you must transfer over in order miss being somewhere else.

*...

Leave what has been turned away, look untouched at the future. Enjoy the transfer as taking part in the charge of the moment. Threshold passion clings to movement, folding the past together. Its evacuation turns into absence. Seeing something new erases the threshold of past mistakes. That is the beautiful thing. Those who cannot bear it feel insecure, like someone who has pushed their back against the wall and now reaches a corner.

*...

The undivided is the goal, the flaming sense in the moment of sudden recognition. This immediate sense is lost in imminent comprehensible understanding.
Recognition versus realisation. Thought and thinking are analogous like image and art, like value and price. Order threatens all attempts to depict simultaneous experience – and not to legitimise it through context. Coming in from the cold, embrace an oven: this pain can be anything.
