Creativity is always relational
This is an invitation to make this visible.
I believe creativity is not born in isolation, but in relation.
A creator becomes with, and is shaped by entanglement. Identity emerges from encounters rather than existing as a pre-given essence.
Just like life, creativity exists in complex webs of interdependence, in contact zones, in spaces where the different meets and negotiates a new relationship and a new expression of it.
In times of digital, perfectly embellished productions, the physical and embodied encounters are vital. So I'd like to invite creators to participate on an analog experiment in co-creation.
It will be a series named In Conversation, which will become a collection exposing what happens when a creative mind is pollinated by another, giving birth to something new.
You’ll receive a page containing a creative piece — perhaps a philosophy quote, a photograph, a poem, a painting, a fragment of a book.
Your invitation is to respond to it: annotate, scribble, draw, paint, erase, recompose. Share your thoughts and emotions, make connections, or create something completely new with the piece in the center of the page as a starting point. There will be space on the margins, but they are not a necessary limit.
Do it by hand. We are not looking for perfection, just for materializing the creative energy that exists in an encounter.
Take a picture of the result and send it back, along with a short reflection:
Who are you, what do you do, how do you see the world?
Who or what has influenced your work? Introduce us to your lineage.
Are you open to being contacted for creative collaborations? What kind?
