»When I grasp an environment is acknowledging me, I feel a strong sense of continuation, (and extension) of belonging. It might be a mutual process, where my focus gets curious to notice where I am, the place, the situation, the density of a particular room, the feelings that rise and the sensations that leave. Is a dialog with what I afford to perceive, and what the factors of a situation guide me to think, or to be. As the heat wave drowsiness, which brings laughter to bad jokes. Or the frustration steaming from waiting or walking too long for food, or to home…

At PACT it became visible to me how quality of awareness comes into play. Not just in the creation or cultivation of artistic inquiries, stimulating desire and agency to propose tasks, activities, movements, and the freedom to rest, but also in how it fundamentally shapes our relationships, our will to become, trust, collaborate, to see oneself as part of a place. Kinship and shared moments of perception makes us open to the unexpected, to accidents, or to the trouble of sharing time and ideas with each other. It defines what is brought to light from the individual field of reality, and how serious or playful we are willing to get.«
