Celebration

In line with the previous Symbolic Actions – starting with The Rhythm of Fire and The Invisible Real – The Web –
in the Performance / Installation / Symbolic Action Celebration the Artist declares, both directly and subliminally, that each of us belongs to the whole: the connection of microcosm and macrocosm, the union of the living with other beings, human and non-human, with the earth, with the entire universe.

The declaration is expressed through Mudras: a dance of the fingers that moves the energy that sustains us.

Mudras consist of positioning and moving the hands so as to draw mysterious, precious symbols in the air: a special language to activate an equally special communication…

The Action took place in Milan in November 2003, in the exhibition rooms of the Dergano Bovisa Library, during the group exhibition ATTRAVERSAMENTI (Crossings), curated by Mimma Pasqua.

A work in synergy with some of the poems in part three, Poetry Art Life, of the collection UNIVERSI.

Some of Teri’s poems act as a counterpoint to her paintings or performances. Heightening feeling and vision nonetheless leaves the different modes of expression independent of one another: the poems are not meant to describe the other works, nor are the latter meant to illustrate the former. What matters is the balance, the happy union that is created, the synergy that arises, in that attempt to achieve the harmony and beauty at the heart of all Teri’s research.
