After the last experiment in Detroit, I was still working through prodigality which resulted in thinking about expenditure and how to define that in a practice. This led to the use of something I had of excess for consumption.
For this experiment I cleaned my barn/workspace of all the excess waste left over from previous projects (which was of abundance) and burned it, leaving behind ash.
Now I am left working from refuse and will see where that takes me.
Can you experience consumption in another way?
ReplyDeleteHow, when, ...?
Yes. That's where I am at this point, thinking about that question. With Ben's idea of drinking coffee, it should provide some feedback in a literal sense of the word for me.
ReplyDeleteBeth -- just going from Detroit -- it feels like the key steps are an evolution of complicity as a beginning
ReplyDeletethen the idea of consumption is something that is not quite in the normal world of consumer forms of consumption. but an excessive infinite . the prodigal as a concept needs to be here.
this is more a catharsis -- the prodigal (which comes back to the uncanny) has a different form -- one that is excessive
(my two cents...)
