DURCHFLUTUNG -

DER ERDE

Performance
by Rita Grosse Ruyken 
Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich, 2021

 

KOMMENTARE
 

As I feel oppressed by dense heat, 

Unusual so early in the Heartland of America, 

I witness the most intense conversation

Yet discoursed by DURCHFLUTUNG.

Anish Kapoor’s HOWL

Forebodingly fills the chamber.

It’s great dark globe distressing, joyless

Cries a challenge to DURCHFLUTUNG:

DURCHFLUTUNG

And the artist’s hands,

Allegiant with the waves of Light,

Abide it still, in the presence of HOWL. 

In the glass atrium, black Earth sphere HOWL

Shrieks and growls, wasted and consuming,

While our golden parabola responds

Chanting cleansing tones.

See for yourself how DURCHFLUTUNG undertakes its purpose,

Firmness in even the delicate edges of the hand-hammered bowl, 

Sound and illumination singing strongly,

Resolute and resplendent.

Hannarose Rand, Midwest USA

 

Encore une dernière fois….
OEuvre de l’esprit avec ce vase vibrant de sa lumière rouge et blanche !
Il respire si délicatement, il vibre si intensément.
Le son sonnant comme une sentence, comme une dernière sentence pour le réveil spirituel de cette
humanité sans repères.
Quel contraste avec cette séquence en noir et blanc, quelle oppression soudaine !
Cette masse noire, ce globe terrestre emprisonné par cette couche sombre qui l’entoure, reflet des
actes et des pensées humaines. Aucune lumière !
Et là, au milieu de cette froideur Il est encore possible d’être touché par la Lumière et de prendre le
chemin vers Elle !
« La Lumière luit dans les ténèbres et les ténèbres ne l’ont pas comprise !

Nathalie Beaudet, France

 

Die Töne ... die große Melodie

So zart mit Gottesliebe ...

Aber auch mit Gottesgerechtigkeit erfüllt.

Gotteskraft ist zur Erde gekommen!

Die goldene Schale bewegt sich

Sie ist lebendig, lebendiger als alles

Den Geist tief berührend

Gottesmacht herrscht über die Erde!

Die Schale wird aufgehoben

In der demutsvollen Reinheit

Der Priesterin des Lichtes

Gotteslicht durchflutet die Erde!

The tones… the great melody

So delicately filled with God’s Love

But also with God’s Justice

God’s Power has come to the Earth!

The Golden Vessel is astir

It is alive, more alive than all else

Touching the spirit deeply

God’s Might rules over the Earth!

The Vessel is raised

In the humble Purity

Of the Priestess of The Light

God’s Light suffuses the Earth!

R.M. Duraisamy, Indien

"Simply put, this is a Golden Bowl with a wall which has been worked so thin that its creation borders on the miraculous. Through the smallest of movements in its vicinity or through air currents it begins to sway softly and transforms itself into a kinetic sculpture."
