In October 2012, I presented my new book Polysingularity, volume 3, at the Kunstfabrik Am Flutgraben in Berlin.
This book was part of a fictional collection of research works on the concept of polysingularity that I was developing since 2010. The book features texts and artworks created between 2009 and 2012. Each work is an exploration of polysingularity methodology in the context of a certain practice.
The most interesting part of the research to me, at the time, was the ability of the human mind to interpret the same phenomenon in multiple ways, to conceive of the different causes that may lead to the same event, or to imagine several different perspectives on the same situation. So I was interested in creating works and texts that could make sense in a variety of different ways and that could be placed in completely different contexts. Their relational nature revealed something very crucial about the way we produce meaning and make sense, seeing it as a combinatorial exercise with nearly infinite possibilities. Yet, while there is a myriad of options available at every moment of time, there is also the question of choice and belief coming in. It enables us to insist on one possibility as the only truth while being aware that there are many. And, unlike irony or cynicism, without the slightest sense of undermining the other positions. Rather, being open to switching to another perspective and staying there for a period of time, to experience a different kind of truth and its sense-making modality.
