- Summary:
- "Two movements, perhaps antithetical, affect space. Individuals exclude themselves, exit (exilium, exsul, ex-solum), come out of their own land, withdraw into another circumstance, depose power from within, shun the power that withholds. Exile can be an individual choice, but it can also be a constraint that involves, cumulatively, a large number. At the same time, peoples, animals, and plants are in exodus, moving, fleeing, migrating, changing the design and the sense of territory and geographies. Three figures take shape from these movements: the space of the journey and the traces of the crossing, the destination or just the place of arrival, and finally the image of the house, of the city, or of the abandoned 'homeland'. These figures unite the two movements: certainly in exile the journey can be instantaneous; it can last as long as it takes to make a decision, to refuse, to write a text, to close a door. During the exodus, by contrast, the journey can prove to be the destination itself - in flight one may have to stop from necessity, by force, or by choice. Exiles and exoduses sediment themselves in history, sometimes finding space in the chronicle with novel accents. While the need for a gaze from the optimal distance is reiterated, the stones of other cities are silently laid, and the blending inheritance is renewed. The two movements perhaps tell us stories of new and repeating geneses."-- provided by distributor.
