Remembering It’s All About Balance After A Couple Of Long Weeks of Work

Sometimes in the midst of all our work, it seems impossible to find the breath or the balance to stay upright. I love this video of RIGOLO Sanddornbalance 2012 Art Installation – it has an almost instantly soothing effect. This is the way to work, breathing, focusing, a quiet intensity which balances effort on an idea as fragile as a feather. I love too that at the end of the day, it is all undone — a way to relieve oneself of the burden and begin again the following day.

  1. Midori! that is so cool! I love best the work that is ephemeral – pure gift – pure reckless excess when it is gone. There’s power there isn’t there?
    Like saying – “there – you may look but you may not possess.” it is of nothingness.

  2. I saw a video on Facebook of this… but it was on a lighted stage with audience visible and costume, etc. I much prefer this video, so hauntingly beautiful and simple. I’m much more IN the experience than in the other film. Thanks.. its truly an amazing thing!!

    Like Andy Goldsworthy ( a prescient name) whose film Rivers And Tides I’ve seen
    over and over again, comes to mind. Environmental and land art can be both rooted and ephemeral. Also, in another way, live theatre is ephemeral for no performance
    is the same. I like to think some shows I’ve worked on in various ways are still out there in the air. The silence and the beauty…

  4. Midori, I am passing on to you the Very Inspiring Blogger Award…which came my way this morning. Yours is such a beautiful blog, it sprang to mind! As ever with these things, please don’t feel you have to participate – but should you wish, details are at my blog today.
