PARAULA FORMA
word shape
Carles Duarte and Guido Dettoni gathered on the 13th of August 2016 at the Museu de la Vida Rural in L’Espulga de Francolí, Catalonia.
An encounter between word and shape, in simultaneous reciprocity.
The word becomes poetry by looking at the hands shaping the matter.
Five poetries, recited in Catalan, recorded and transcribed.
Blue
The fingers tighten the horizon.
The sky and the sea blend.
The breath of light,
like a shout,
like a voice,
resonates in the infinity,
the immense space of the emptiness
which we fill
with a very slow beat.
Yellow
The silk of the stem rising.
The wheat
in extended fields
under the yellow sheet of light
which the sun lays
like a skin of pure clarity
inebriating us.
White
All colors in one.
All the shapes in one gesture.
All crystals
of naked transparency
between the hands.
Marble that grows and is taken
to be a single voice,
the world that speaks.
The hands give shape to the matter – with the eyes closed – listening to the words.
Five consecutive moments to the rhythm of the colors of the wax: black, red, blue, yellow, and white. Five shapes hardened in water and converted into four digital images of each of them, corresponding to their different points of view.
Guido Dettoni attains the Transmutation of these images to depict each piece of poetry.
