imċaqlaq


- meaning to be moved or shifted -

Reconfigured found frames - the idea of inhabiting, molding the established parameters of traditional art - this peripheral feature has become the focal point - the subject of the work. imċaqlaq and mgħotti series form part of this line of enquiry. 


... correspondence is about the ways along which lives, in their perpetual unfolding or becoming, simultaneously join together and differentiate themselves, one from another. This shift from interaction to correspondence entails a fundamental reorientation, brom the between-ness of beings and things to thier in-between-ness.  

Ingold 2020, Correspondences p. 9
