Each year, our festival focuses on a unique theme that inspires us to create and reflect on the contemporary world. This year’s theme, Spiral , will guide us throughout the festival – as a symbol of movement, growth, and the constant return to the essence.
Spiral as both a surface and a space. A surface for stagnation, and a space for constant transformation. It can be a rise to new understanding, or a fall into the rabbit hole. A spiral, or a spinning circle? Are we trapped inside, or is it leading us forward? It depends on the point of view.
From which side do you look at me? Do I still have the same shape? Do you see me as a fixed point, or do I keep shifting before your eyes? Look closely. Once you see me, we’ll spin together. Round and round. Round and round. Into infinity. Can you find where I end?
To encounter the threshold between horizontal and vertical. Between beginning and end. To burrow deep. All the way to the core. Each step along the spiral moves us forward – and yet, we return to where we began. But are we still the ones who once stepped in?
Overthink much?
Are we flattening reality, or are we trying to perceive its plasticity?
Just spiraling around.
Haven’t we lost ourselves?
Falling up and down.
Where does the spiral end – and where does it begin?
