Exhibition "Animals Landed on This Night" | Harel and Hanish

“If we set the depression aside and understand without reason the movement and addition to what already exists and is already full. It lacks knowledge of love and light. This is a fact, not a reason. If I set all that aside, I stand before walls. How do you make a hole in a wall? Go around it or through it. Two kinds of holes. The first is not continuous in time. In retrospect, chisel it from the other side. The first is a blind beginning and a real hole. In any case, all this first happened on paper without many words. Only a hand drawing the murmuring line of an object born for the structure intended for it. That is, it will not do much. And perhaps precisely because of this, it may never come, but will roll onward. In any case, I am in a rolling and paralyzing account with the gods. In the thought of moment after moment there is no time. All the sensations: screen, screen, screen. I see nothing. The new prohibition is not to write. It was imposed yesterday. That is, it expired at night, and here you and I are talking. You, who in earlier days were the ideal viewer—God was a companion I had to hold you in that position, and once she moved away, so did you. The whole story seems like a story. In lucid moments it seems to me that this is the story. Devotion to expanding the story. And one day, in a few more years, it will also penetrate the heart of a woman with keys, and thus a high and wide automatic gate will open. Suffering is the darkness of the present. The burning in the eyes belongs to the symbolic now. The legacy of the past is polished to perfection. The hope that the future is now being woven. The chance is slim. Everything is true. None of this has anything to do with practice. It is only a thought.”
