“to meditate” is a compliment to silence. In silence is when I can find myself. Sharing this encounter is a way of turning it less solitary.

Invitation
This is an invitation to meditate.
To pause and breath, to listen to the sounds of continuos movements.
This invitation is a challenge of sharing.
I offer you my chair and my tools.
The work consists in being silent, share this silence... and prepare black ink.
The created ink is the rest/residue and apply became te experience trace.
a meditar (to meditate), 2016
to meditate is a project developed to share the act of being in silence. The work was performed in february 2016 in Experimentem amb L'art, Barcelona. On that month I invited the audience to come to my studio and share silence. The experience consited in being in silence while the guest produced black ink (Sumi-e) for undetermined time. In the mean time I was also in silence and taking care of the situation. The black ink, or residue left from the experience, was applied in a free way in a 10 cmx 10 cm paper. In the beginning of the expeirence I always created a second trace, a photografy of the guest back's.
