L'événement d'être là - Des lieux pour exister #2

Until spring 2024, the Trinkhall will continue its reflection on places, with the collection opening up several new paths of meaning and emotion.  Here is what we could possibly say about it: a place has nothing to do with a territory. It is a space that we hold on to. Yet, is it really a space in the usual meaning of the term, or a façade of multiple dimensions which, we do not know how, becomes attached to our eye and sticks to our skin. Something that does not really exist outside of us – but it does! – in other words, that does not exist outside the relationship that we maintain with it, something that we are moving towards which, concurrently is moving towards us in exact symmetry. Or instead, something that sends us back to the condition of our existence, but as if stripped of the painful feeling of being oneself; an existence that, by the organization of places, when decluttered of ourselves, is free and more open. A place is the event of being there. It does not belong to you, me or anybody. We do not possess any places: sometimes they come to us… How lucky!
