Rewind 009 | Susan Hiller | The Provisional Texture of Reality
b"\\u201cI like to say about my own work that I am committed to working with ghosts. That is with cultural discard, fragments, and things that are invisible to most people, but intently important to a few\\u201d. In the words of Susan Hiller, art and dream become coordinates of a single territory, built on the edge of our conscious life and explored by the artist's work.\\nIn the lecture given for the 17th edition of CSAV - Artists' Research Laboratory (when she was invited as a visiting professor), Susan Hiller describes the dream as an activity in which we are more honest with ourselves and closer to nature, since we share this activity \\u201cwith all other mammals and perhaps with other creatures as well and with other life forms\\u201d. Artists have always explored these other states of consciousness, recovering and reflecting the segments rooted in an imaginary that we often share without even knowing. The artist's work - as well as the work of dreams - brings to light the shared texture of these symbols that silently shape our reality: \\u201cin that sense - concludes the artist - all dream imagery is always social in origin\\u201d.\\n14.07.2011, Archive Fondazione Antonio Ratti"
