3rd Step – Organic Moulding
As soon as we begin to form organically - which means adding movements to the grammatical structure - our bodily memory will activate involuntarily. So, as the subconscious perceives the relationship between forms and movements, our consciousness tries to put the meaning of the perception into words.
The meaning we ascribe to the perception is in turn based on a bodily experience. How we describe a bodily experience intellectually thus depends on the cultural coordinates of everyday occurrences that make an attribution possible in the first place.
We can describe the dark matter or energy of our subconscious as the multidimensional totality of all stored experiences that manifest themselves in the constant exchange between bodily experience and its assignment to a cultural system.
The organic modulation, as the third step after the linear construction and the superimposition of the geometric constructions, activates the respective cultural coordinates of interpretation.
Before we move on to the interpretation together, it is necessary to take an intermediate step; that everyone tells the "beautiful story" of their everyday occurrences for themselves.
Beautiful in the sense of being able to share it with others as an event of being alive - even and especially when it contains not only longing, joy and fulfilment but also fear, sadness and despair.
That is the task:
Get close to things: photograph everyday events; rituals, recurring processes.
Print at least three, at most six, of the photos. It is important to have them physically available.
From one photo to another, unfold a story. Write a short story (half a page to a maximum of one page). It is not about a factual documentation, but rather about working out what is special about the recurring events. This creates a beautiful story that contains both: the subjective experience and the general coordinates of each time's cultural repetitions.
