Sada

Now

Vrata kružnog prostora Galerije PM zastrta su zastorom.

Prolazim kroz tu meku opnu i prodirem u taj jednostavan, arhetipski, samodostatan krug.

The door to the circular space of the PM Gallery is veiled with a curtain.

I pass through that soft membrane and enter the simple, archetypal, self-sufficient circle.

Počinem po zidu ispisivati tekst „sada je sada je sada je sada...”

Kada napišem riječ „sada“, to je jednostavna istina u trenutku nastajanja. Tren kasnije, to postaje laž, tj. samo uzaludna bilješka nečega što je bilo, i više nije.

Gotovo opsesivno nastavljam ispisivati tu tvrdnju, kako bih pokušala uhvatiti ili zadržati taj izrečeni “sada”; biti “sada”; izravno biti prijelaz trenutka u trenutak.

Lagano grickam krug, mic po mic, kao udah-izdah, udah-izdah...

Završavam pisanje zatvarajući krug teksta, koji uhvativši samog sebe za rep, kao Ouroboros, time ponovno stvara sam sebe.

Tada gubi vremensku komponentu od koje počinje, jer sad, kad je puni krug uspostavljen, gdje god da se u njemu zateknemo, čitamo istinu svog (nesavršenog, skliskog) “sada”.

Svi ti nabrojani “sada” istovremeno kruže, postaje nejasno i nebitno gdje je tekst započet.

Iako je taj niz kao skica za transcendentalnu cjelovitost, koju krug i simbolizira, fizički u tom prostoru uvijek nekom dijelu cjeline okrećemo leđa. Vječnost je naslućena, ali ostaje nesaglediva.

Možemo se samo vrtiti u krug, prateći pojedino.

I start to write “now is now is now is now…” on the wall.

As I write, the word “now” is a simple truth in the moment of its creation. A moment later, it becomes a lie, just a futile note of something that has passed, and is no longer.

Almost obsessively, I continue writing this statement, in an attempt to catch or keep that “now”, to be that “now”, to exist as a direct transition from one moment to the next.

I am biting away at that circle, bit by bit, like breathing in and out, in and out…

I finish writing when the circle of text is closed. It has caught itself by the tail, like the Ouroboros, and thus created itself all over again.

In that moment it loses the time component from which it started, because now, when the full circle has been created, wherever we find ourselves inside it, we read the truth of our own (imperfect, slippery) “now”.

All those numerous “nows” encircle us simultaneously and it becomes unclear and irrelevant where the text started.

Even though this series of “nows” is a sketch for the transcendent wholeness, symbolized by the circle, in this space we always have to physically turn our back on some part of the whole. Eternity is hinted at, but remains impossible to grasp. We can only spin in circles, following the individual.
