In a forest I found myself lost
I found a forest full of loss
In myself I found a forest
a forest
a lost self
a forest as self

The title May Your Ripples Slowly Fade refers to that state of nomind, before consciousness defines, describes, and names what is.  These vague precious moments, beyond time and space, when separation between past and present, here and there evaporate.

What a treasure, these brief moments, just before we are thrown back into linear thinking, with all its layers of memory and identity. Those brittle layers, as solid as a fleeting thought?
And then again, all possibilities unfold in an eternal moment,
always present, yet so hard to grasp,
when recognised….already gone.
here lies hope?

Gustaf Broms (1966), works in the borderlands between performance, video and installation, engaged with the exploration of the nature of consciousness, as manifested in the dualistic concepts of being NATURE  (the biological process of body), and being MIND (as intellect interprets experience); investigating a language that transcends these cracks. He currently lives and works in the Vendel forest, exploring Being as a perforated reality.
