Commentary :
Soliloque
is a meditation, facing oneself, a introspection suspended in time. This time
is not measured, but rather lived as psychological time. The perception of
rhythm seems to dissolve in the immensity of Time. Thus, one finds again a
breathing like it might have been in the past, when the human being was in
contact with Nature, and didn’t find himself under the stress of modern life, subjected to the dictatorship
of speed.
(after
Jan Dobrzelewski)
