EMST FOR HEALTH – PARTICIPATIONS

FROZEN SWING…

inspired by Alexandros Psychoulis’, Exercise Machines

Exercise machines for daily exercise

in the illusion of a rhythmic movement,

no isolated system change –constant entropy

 

The endurance of the ladder is tested

in the weight of impatience

for a tall window overlooking the outside world

This concrete jungle is different:

the cry “eeeeee Me Tarzan You Jane” is suspended – silence

 

Is there an horizon out there?

If the ladder endures, if the hammock approaches, if the gaze rises,

can the open horizon be seen?

 

Salvation, a vertical dimension, hope and support …

 

“My happiness, I’m thinking, would lie in height. … I’m drawn into the dance of the meanders … Horizons will have smothered me. … Bas-relief dream, I’ll come to you vertically….”

(“March Mournful and Vertical” K. Karyotakis)
