Pneumatika

“Feeling part of a whole that is constantly changing and constantly moving. A whole in which elements appear different and yet, if observed carefully, show a common structure and functioning. Nothing can be thought of separately. The energy that moves everything is thought of as a pulsation or a vibration, to which all the elements of the universe agree. Life or death are events that occur cyclically. They do not constitute an end or a beginning. Motion is perpetual. If there is repetition, it is never a repetition of the same, but the re – presentification of a process in its more or less completed form, a crossing. Thus in the performance the articulation and repetition reveal the potential, the infinite possibilities, the relationship with what we observe and the visible and invisible nature. The fascination springs from the dialogue between body-space-technology whose common denominator seems to be more than the phenomenon, the constant change, the cyclical nature of matter and its invisible component on a small and large scale. ”

The word pneuma has taken on different meanings in history but always with an meaning relating to the breath, the breath, therefore also the vital breath, spirit, up to identifying the soul itself. In today’s language, the term also refers to something mechanical, like an automatism, the “breath” of the machine. It is fascinating that the term pneumatic means “composed of air“. The pre-Socratic philosophers indicated with this word the soul, the original principle, the arch (Greek: ἀρχή), connected to life, impalpable, therefore immaterial.
