WHATEVER COMES

Maya Hottarek

The SUV is power
The SUV is protection
The SUV is preparation
whatever comes from afar
my safe space is my car
the abuse of power
comes at high speed

Turn on the headlights and drive as fast as you can out of the woods. Close the air conditioning vents. Turn off the radio. Try not to make a sound or else they might hear you. The swarm! You’ll hear their wings buzzing and see them glowing green! Drive, drive!

VANISHING AUTOMATONS FOR CLOUD-BASED MYSTERIES

curated by Keiu Krikmann

Approach and see!
Step into the demo vault!
Guided by the engineer’s sulphur touch,
two days and nights of magic!
The hidden daughter of no-one,
the monosyllabic girl!
A dark seance
of profound mysteries –
Olimpia’s still heart
and beating lungs!

I am a world.
I am not the only world.
That’s the problem.
But I am a world.
And I am under the obligation to find out whatever it is that goes
on in that world.
to discover and enlarge what goes on in THIS world,
which is all of you and many millions of people
both living and dead.
Past and to come.
— ohne Walz kein Meister

feels so good to feel the pain
feels so good to feel again

Every morning she would wake up at dawn and cross the city, lingering every time she met a seedling grown in the walls crawlspaces. She would caress the leaves, unable to say anything because of the strong emotion, the air stuck in her throat. Each time it was a total shock, but that time was unforgettable, forever stuck in her mind.

She stole the adhesive stickers from her mother‘s purse, Esselunga’s collection points (every 25 euros of shopping, a stamp; 100 stamps for a microwave oven with incorporated grill). She twisted the stickers around the stems, rubbing them between the forfinger and the thumb. She stuck them accurately onto the faded petals of the city flowers. She even used a magnifying glass to do so.

The operation was more complex than she expected, but she stuck with it.

She walked by the cars parked in the dark, stuck around until the smell of freshly baked bread spread in the air.

Suddenly, she ran into the parking lot, brandished the bundle of owers weighted down by the stickers and punched the sleepy cars with her own fist. A concert of alarms, a chorus of crazy flocks. It really stuck in somebody’s craw. She stuck around puzzled, wondering why there were all those screams.

with the red lights leaving the past behind
entering the futures with the bright white lights
like the earth blood vessels
Like a bullit and container of travelling dreams
leading the way toward home/away
step inside of this joyride

Totally engagement
multi sensorially
becoming the vessel,
a liquid and transformative shamanic creature
on a hyper trip into the unknown. old ritualistic structures
and the curiosity of the unknown.

no real beginning and end,
fading in and out of control.

Building equipments
Prepping for the futures
Total engagement with the instruments Total engagement with the
now
