On the battlefield of my body<\/span><\/p>\n

And i would have waited for them<\/span><\/p>\n

Tangled up in desires and abandon<\/span><\/p>\n

It would have taken my breath<\/span><\/p>\n

To out throw the lamentation<\/span><\/p>\n

And when the rain falls tomorrow<\/span><\/p>\n

It would have trapped……… my last complaint \u201c<\/span><\/p>\n

The story<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In a sacred\u00a0Hindu\u00a0village lost in the jungle, a self-made erudite\u00a0brahman\u00a0dedicates his life to the creation of a unique library on philosophy, theology,\u00a0psychology, world literature…<\/span><\/p>\n

… And finally\u00a0find himself being\u00a0violently rejected by the villagers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Inspired by a true local story from Gokarna (Karnataka, India),\u00a0the fiction evolves around the discovery of an\u00a0enlightening\u00a0sign, which\u00a0will guide the old man in the conception of a catcher of self-complaints – called Devil Trap and manifesting the work of his entire life – , following the scriptures of the Bhagavad Gita in the attempt of a mediation between paganism and philosophy, between the villagers and himself…<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0_______________________________________________<\/span>
\n\u00a0It\u2019s a story… of how an illusion is able to create things, signs, research, fragment, assemblage, agencements and finally a shape, an object\u2026. How a line of subjectivation is used as a strategy materializing in the physical world, in the tangible, touchable zone of our environment. <\/span>
\nIt is an experiment, linked to the study circle existence and contents… how to extract from the multitude of books and knowledge stored in the site, a possibility of substantiation, a possibility of materialization\u2026.to reveal what the words contained in them, for their ability to transform the way we negotiate with realities\u2026<\/span>
\n\u00a0The relationship to the location (laterite stone colonized by black micro algea-mushroom), to the study circle (mainly constituted by philosophical and psychological references), to the owner, mister Vedeshwar\u2026\u2026 and his mind\u2026 and his own practice of discovering knowledge through enigma, dilemma, signs, esoteric language and times clock gap between solar or lunar calendar based (3mn56s)\u2026which becomes the process to manifest his illusion in the spectrum of the real. <\/span>
\nIt’s a story of someone, involved in the rereading of the Baghavad gita, its multiple psycho interpretation, about the war between two cousins which could be understood as a personal fight against our own indecision, against our own self-indulgence\u2026. A story of somebody which found the way to extract through signs and mathematical logic a shape, which passes from his mind to a cartography, from a cartography to a 3D object drifting slowly to a real construction at scale 1 by his own enlightening\u2026 he is himself becoming a fragment of this construction\u2026.on the site where he found the sign, to understand that this indeterminacy structure has the power to help him to renegotiate his own complaint (as the Krishna dialogue with Arjuna). <\/span><\/p>\n

What could be the relationship between these antagonist forces, from a strategy of speculation re-questioning the order of discourse, to theology and religious rhetoric, where emerges a figure… from their encounter\u2026 from the contradictory zones of the believers and unbelievers?
\nThis interstice, this crack between two dimensions, two interpretations of the world’s logic (if there is one…), seems to be a territory with its own systemic values, transactional and transitory, as a fragile monkey-bridge joining the antagonist verticalities and their opposites in a shaping relation between power and knowledge.
\nFor example, in the Indian culture, we could approach the Bhagavad Gita through a multitude of interpretation (especially on the fight between the two brothers): from a fairy tale to a religious report, from moralistic speeches to a pitch for Bollywood production, from a sacred scripture to a philosophical and psychological questioning of the notion of identity, duplicity, integrity, consciousness and being.
\nThe round table will be the occasion to open forbidden doors and discourses, on the logic and ill-logic of things, on the relation between reason and madness, on the distribution of knowledge between the new world bourgeoisie tabula-rasa (consuming, acting, speaking, Facebooking \u2026) and the singularities of a territory (with its ghosts and daemons, its hopes and dark sides\u2026 of the initial cultural bouillon).
\nIn the background, underneath of this interrogation, a more crucial question slowly reveals itself: Can we foresee for India, (as is happening everywhere) the invasion of the autistic over-designed international architecture, following eastern countries such as China, Thailand, Singapore\u2026 with no other identity than the personification of post-capitalism meanings, values and designs’ sprawling\u2026
\nOr is India able to create the specificity of its development, by extracting substances from its history, its alive polytheism, its democratic turbulence, its intrinsic relationships between narration and technologies (from sophisticated hand-made to computing fabrication, from the traditional transmission of know-how to programming machines and behaviors).
\nCould we plan a situationist activism in terms of production, which would combine expertise, recognition of the needs and conflicts, but also lines of subjectivity extracted from the polyphonic listing above\u2026
\nThe second part of the event is the little show presenting \u201cz\u2019shell-ter\u201d.
\nIt is a story of the owner of a large library in Gokarna, he collected 100 000 books about philosophy, psychology, some on palm leaves… He is a Brahman…but because of this huge rare collection he has been rejected a long time ago from Gokarna village as an agnostic or atheist collector in a very religious Hindu zone….
\nThe collection has been preserved in a new building on the top of the village by alien fund\u2026which will open soon as an incredible public library (the Study Circle). But at the same time it has aroused the jalousie and hate from village… he commissioned to find a way, to do something or anything in order to recreate the link …similar to the excerpts Bhagavad Gita of the Mahabharata, when Krishna helps one brother to engage the war against the other one…as a representation of the conflict of his own self-indulgence\u2026
\nIn this sense, a small structure able to soak trough interstices between the philosopher and the believers\u2026. able to trap their symmetrical self-confidence and self-indulgence, has been completed as equal distance from both locations. This illusion-catcher is open to be used by both sides\u2026
\nThe Brahmans in charge of temple came and validated this singularity, in charge to collect human pathologies, on one side the beliefs and certitudes of the community, and on the other the arrogant loneliness of the philosopher\u2026
\nThat is a true story and the old man in the movie is the owner of the library… as a report, a \u201cmockumentary\u201d of the situation.<\/p>\n
