Matching Four with Twelve: Orchestrating Apollo- 2005 -00:09:15
Orchesting Apollo, the third part of Matching Four with
Twelve
series, appears to be an expression of a kind of homesick of an
ever
irrecoverable conditions of being ideal. Interestingly, in the
process of exploring such a home or creating such an ideal, home
itself, on the contrary, appears to be nothing stable and cozy.
Ever-
changing conditions push us to a status to miss such an never-
catchable and to feel lack of a place where can feel belonged.
Constantly departing from one state of conditions to another, we
started to be not able to be defined as from where. velocity and
speed define. Whether it is a luck or not, we still look forward
to
the future, as always.
