Balance
Anita Wach • Bojan Jablanovec
“I love all who are like heavy drops falling one by one out of the dark cloud that lowers over man: they herald the coming of the lightning, and succumb as heralds.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
6th sentence of the 30 Movements
The world oscillates between knowledge and ignorance, rationality and emotion, nature and technology, past and future. Maintaining balance is constant, hard work. Every day we balance between fear and hope, facts and dreams, security and freedom. We live in a paradox. The more we know, the less we understand. The more information we gain, the less stable we are. Anita stands on a pile of books and balances between instinct and reason for 3 hours. Millions of thoughts, words, images and numbers serve as a pedestal for a body filled with bones, tissues, veins, arteries, fluids and organs. The anatomical model of an intelligent mammal confronts the instability of the civilised world.
