THE DIALOGUES by Glòria Ros Abellana

This piece comes from a scattered mind and a gathered body.

The former, pushed and pulled in many directions, tries to hold on to some idea which could eventually become a statement, feeling under the pressure of delivering a universal truth.

The latter is ready to reveal. Celebrative, generative and vivid, guided only by the urge of its own rebirth.

This dualistic conflict evolves to be more of a creature of many possibilities, moods, and especially, questions.

The following is a dialogue between two parts of myself: me and her.

It exposes the incredulity amongst my own thoughts, the absorption and the disregard at once. Her attitude states the difficulty of communicating with words a struggle of perceptions - better transmitted with rhythm, movement and the relation between body and space.

I situate this short conversation in the same corridor where the videos have been recorded. My feeling is that, in a way, all of that is happening at the same time.
