Mauricio L贸pez F.: Wind Reenactment
Possession is an impulse that quickly settles into control. Inevitably, what is not understood is captured, examined, and when it presents some exploitable quality, it becomes a tool, a possibility. Wind is a strongly romanticized element, allowing heroism to be injected into moments that might otherwise seem tasteless. At the same time, its manifestation has a revealing quality. It dusts off what is latent and shows us that our environment is not pristine鈥攖hat there is the precarious, the hidden, the forgettable, the unfixed. This duality forces its will upon us; we cannot stop it鈥攊t is there whether for our convenience or not. We can try to simulate it in forced controlled conditions, but it is well known that that鈥檚 not wind.
