Can't Go Home
Can't Go Home
1977
“Aquesta instal·lació és un recorregut físic i simbòlic. La sala és a les foques i només està il·luminada per dos projectors de diapositives i un focus de llum vermella. A la paret s’hi troben diversos textos i dues fonts sonores que van xiuxiuejant els seus monòlegs respectius. En el centre de la sala el focus de llum vermella il·lumina una peanya amb un vas. Una gota d’aigua hi cau just al costat. A l’altre extrem, dos carros de diapositives projecten unes imatges que permeten constatar tant la impossibilitat de tornar enrere com l’anhel de tornar endavant.” – AR, 2011 -- «When I made this work I was considering turning back to Catalonia, but couldn’t make up my mind. Certain aspects from here attracted me, such as the quality of life; the Mediterranean sea; nature, but I know I would miss those from New York.
Returning back here was like returning to my childhood, recovering it in a real way; childhood is a paradise, sometimes horrible but full of innocence, of not knowing… In the work, in addition to this reference to childhood, there is also a part of oneiric world. It was an installation which strictly corresponding the moment I was living in.» -- Àngels Ribé
