BODIES by MRWN

Suppose that Dali's spoon woke you up while you were still in Morpheus' arms. You would be confronted with the strange and the very same at the same time. And then, was it yesterday or the day before? Was it long before or after the last memory perceived as reality in your life? Do you feel Chuang Tzu or butterfly? What transformation of things have you undergone? To which direction of the vector of the causality do you turn? What's left?
A scene, a couple of characters, a few gestures, and, of course, some words, some phrases... Then comes the awakening. You, yourself, claim you were there. Certainty, you are the object of an action, of a speech that you appear to utter. You are also the object of a gaze that you project on yourself in the distance of a dream as if you were someone else. Wait. Is this you, or is it someone else? Perhaps both? And, maybe more crucially, do you believe it was real?
The oniric experience always serves as the setting for a troubling encounter, whether it is the hallucinatory experience of the dream, a narrative recounted through temptations of memory, associative interactions that give rise to the elucidation of dormant thoughts, or the embodiment of an interpretative perception. An encounter with the structure of various spaces, objects, and psychic motions. An encounter with elements that are fundamentally antagonistic and yet coexist in the same space. Through the parade of opposites, it is both the identificatory choices and the most founding identity possibilities of the subjects that are brought into play.

MRWN / Marwen Ben Cheikh transforms what is commonly clear to feel,to see,to listen to, into a reflection by rethinking about sharded matters from their moment of reception to their synthesis.
