Archives of Collapse

„Archives of Collapse“ explores the collapse as a transformative event. What leads to a collapse and what is the potential of it? What occurs in the silence after?
Destruction and creation, grief and hope coexist in a world where softness and fragility become tools to re-connect – an attempt of constantly diving into new dimensions rather than resigning.

 

 

 

imploding, within
and falling apart
bursting and crashing
collapsing, stars

and waves carrying forces
and clouds breathing hope
in and out
out and in
it’s much more
than a thought

in a place
without
structure
in a place
without ground

where bodies collide
collapsing, sound

I wanna break
break apart
break through

I wanna break
reach through
reach out

I wanna fall
fall through
out
apart

Oh, yes we fall
oh, yes we break
again again again …

We break and gather
break and gather

fall and up
fall, stand up

continue.

I fall

And whenever I fall, I rise
And whenever I rise, I am light.

But the walls are still here
the walls are still solid
unfolding
inside of me.

And whenever I control, I hurt.
And whenever I hurt, I feel.

Do you feel?
Do you see?
The leftovers from yesterday’s feast.

And whenever I destroy, I stop.
And whenever I stop, I fail.

again, again, again

Chaos has never been so close to order, they say.

Do you feel?
Do you see?

And whenever I contain, I collapse.

Are we stuck?
Wait –
stay.
In silence we trust.

Let me fall into this,
collapse into your arms.

I feel

and dare to become
a landscape of breathing lines
and vibrating bones.
