Now it exists and will remain in this space forever.
APHRODITE CRYING
You don’t see me but I exist, right above this white round shape. I’m Aphrodite, an intangible sculpture made of air and spirit. Feel my absence which is a true existence. Still don’t see me? And yet I am here, in front of you, and I cry because I am beauty and love which is disappearing. I am yours. Give me the shape you want. Make sure I don’t disappear altogether. At least make sure that my name remains. If you feel my presence, it means that you too are present, you exist. Inside or outside of this shape you are the same as me, you are Aphrodite, you are beauty and love. Remember, it’s really simple. Maybe too simple. Tomorrow when you think of me, you will think of yourself. (Yet you are already forgetting me). – Salvatore Garau
NOTE FROM INDY – In creating the voice of the invisible statue that exists above the white circle, Salvator Garau tells us that Aphrodite, while crying, says, “At least make sure that my name remains.” This is an essential element because without a name, we don’t know what to imagine.
