REINDEER AGE#1 (2021)

Bernardo Chatillon (2020-2021)

REINDEER AGE #1 is the second episode of this series that starts from the memory of when I was a child and felt the euphoria of going on vacation with my parents and at the same time the fear and feeling that the vacation might not happen. What to do with this? Is it possible to lose the trace of something that was never lost?

To explore this complex intertwining of worlds, I decided to go and live in a motorhome, following the thoughts proposed by Carlo Rovelli in his book, The Order of Time, where he invites us to reflect on the following questions: “Why do we remember the past and not the future? What does the ‘flow’ of time mean? Do we exist in time or does time exist within us?”, as well the somatic writing exercises proposed by poet and author CA Conrad’s, which investigates this seemingly infinite space between body and spirit, using almost any possible thing to channel the body out and/or into the spirit with deliberate and sustained concentration, and the book Fall of Heaven: Words of a Yanomami Shaman that question the notion of progress and development.
