I just wrote a text for the speech of my installation's opening event today.
I think this is the most clear and simple text so far which says what I mean in my piece.
----
This piece is a discourse about the Other.
I avoid to explain my piece, how it has been developing.
Instead, I try to talk about the Other.
The Other helps me. The Other loves me. The Other hates me. The Other sometimes hurts me.
The Other is always coming from where I do not know. I can not expect anything, even I already know something about or around the Other, that does not mean I know him or her.
I do not know.
The question is, how I can live together with the Other.
While I am talking, hundreds of bombs are exploding in Palestine.
It seems, we can not find a way to live together.
Look his/her face, which always asks us "don't kill me.".
What we can do is just we do "not" kill him/her.
In order to reach there, we have to see his/her face.
Or at least we should be conscious that we can see his/her face.
Needless to say, always there is a difficulty of forgiveness.
There is the unforgiveable, surely.
Even so, I hope we can draw our dream, here and now.
