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 that we have.
These artworks are intended as visual metaphors to address 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 moves through the streets of Schöppingen in Germany. The performers raised palanquins over people they met, people who were going about their everyday activities.
The performance bestows importance and shares moments of richness with people. There is a prestige and a moment of pageantry that injects something out of the ordinary into the known and the familiar.
Remember the importance of SELF endows a sense of worth and inclusion.
