Description:
Pablo Marte. A strong imagination generates event or ideas about things
Last summer the artist spent a few days walking through the Dordogne valley in France. He wanted to visit Château Montaigne, as he had read that at the top of the tower where Michel de Montaigne had invented the modern essay, you could contemplate phrases in Greek and Latin which the philosopher had written on the beams of the ceiling as a reminder. The artist was specifically looking for an inscription which he felt close to his heart, i.e. Fortis imagination generat casum (A strong imagination begets the event itself). However, once there, standing below those beams, he could not find it. But he did find this other one:
ΤΑΡΑΣΣΕΙ ΤΟΥΣ ΑΝΘΡΩΠΟΥΣ ΟΥ ΤΑ ΠΡΑΓΜΑΤΑ ΑΔΔΑ ΤΑ ΠΕΡΙ ΤΩΝ ΠΡΑΓΜΑΤΩΝ ΔΟΓΜΑΤΑ
(Causes of human torment: not things but rather the ideas about things)
A fluttering space opens up between these phrases, where the artist who is working on aspects about passivity, inertness, intimacy and distances will put forward a "pluri- narrative structure", a meeting place between lyrical poetry and an impartial fate.
