“Remember the importance of SELF”is a project which seeks to remind us that each of us is important, and that who we are is more important than the gap which exists between the life we dreamt of, and the life we have. These works are intended as visual metaphors addressing existential issues like inner balance. Art can serve to alter the way we understand the world. It can also be a source of solace.
In the performance more than 30 people hold aloft three sumptuous purple cloths on poles to form a canopy or palanquin. The procession moved through the streets of Schöppingen in Germany, and the
performers raise the palanquins over people they meet who are going about their everyday activities. The performance, with its implications of bestowing importance and the sharing of a moment of richness and prestige is a small oasis, a moment of pageantry injecting something out of the ordinary into the known and the familiar: endowing a sense of worth and inclusion.
