A TRANSITION OBJECT
Incense is a ritualized, short moment in time, for transition, for grounding, or for cognitive travel.
The burning ritual allows us to recodify a space for new usage and transition into different moments throughout the day, from creation, and recreation, to rest.
To offer this object and time reflection experience, ŌMNI was originally made for the Isamu Noguchi Museum, in relationship with Folie à Plusieurs in 2021.
For this edition, we continue with the producer Sandhelden to create a new batch run of the listening-object.
RITUAL ENSURES OUTCOME
The temporality of incense teaches us of the contradictory nature of presence - To be aware that you are here while being aware that you are not there… Or somewhere else.
During the short period of burning, the listener is mindful of the moments between lighting, listening, and extinguishing, while simultaneously being transported to the place of memories or creative imagination.
Here, and not here. Permanent and permeable as the drifting and dissipating smoke.
Like a meditation, creating the space to be both present and to let go can feel a counterintuitive pursuit.
Despite this contradiction, the activity heightens the awareness in whichever direction you find yourself facing.
