Gina Pane "Azione Sentimentale"

Kiki Smith "Convergence"

Pane emerged in Europe at the peak of the Situationist movement based in a Marxist critique of capitalism. They believed that emphasis on commodity consumption instead of lived experience was leading to passivity and alienation. Situationists stated that this “spectacle” could be countered by “the construction of situations, moments of life deliberately constructed for the purpose of reawakening and pursuing authentic desires.”

"Life sleeps in the stone, dreams in the plant, wakens in the animal" Ancient Hindu saying.

Philosophy

Arthur +Schopenhauer. One no longer perceives the world as an object of perception (therefore as subject to the Principle of Sufficient Grounds; time, space and causality) from which one is separated; rather one becomes one with that perception: "one can thus no longer separate the perceiver from the perception" (The World as Will and Representation, section 34)

Hinduism. Brahman and Atman. Ontological unity.Non duality, all of the universe is one essential reality, and that all facets and aspects of the universe is ultimately an expression or appearance of that one reality.

Dan Siegel.
