Eye, hand, chair - solo show by Rafał Żarski at Łęctwo galleryText
Home is a machine that consists of many, mutually interacting mechanisms. The most important ones are the bed, the
screen and the chair. They are the most active and demanding elements of the entire system. In order to function correctly, they
require regular presence of the human body.
Sleeping, sitting, looking
Home is a permanent machine, whereas the human body serves as the variable component. The body undergoes various
deformations. It is decomposed into individual parts, to be then reassembled in different configurations. The machine tests
different combinations of the body with other mechanisms. Some arrangements are wrong, while others start to function
correctly after some time.
When do we fall asleep, we don't know
The chair is gazing at the hands,
illuminated by the blue screen
The bed is patiently waiting.
So many things left to do
Time's swirling with a smile,
flashing its menacing fangs.
A council is held at home:
The eye, the hand, and the chair are the most important organs.
A correctly formed body is very comfortable and loyal. It spends most of its time at home, engaging regularly in cooperation
with individual mechanisms. It is exclusive, it does not require contact with other bodies to thrive. It becomes a function with a
definite life span, after which the process of forming / programming will have to start anew.
