What then is time? If no one asks me, I know; if I wish to explain it to him who asks, I do not know.
The game
The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.
Eutopia
The stories of the Earth have changed in nature and scale: we do not write stories to tell about the creation or the course of the world, but to avert its end.
Book is a Book is a Book
Ts'ui Pen must have said once: I am withdrawing to write a book. And another time: I am withdrawing to construct a labyrinth. Every one imagined two works; to no one did it occurred that the book and the maze were one and the same thing.

Awaken the sleeping giants
Trickster-p — Projects — Awaken the sleeping giants
Conceived as a two years research and transmission project devised by Trickster-p and Sandbox Collective, Awaken the sleeping giants has involved art practicioners from Switzerland and India to explore interspecies entanglements and hybridization as a possibile key to read the future relation between humans and Nature.
A possible different coexistence between different species is something that concerns us all - regardless of our geographical origin and artistic background - and a reflection on these topics cannot fail to compare different experiences and points of view in a process that proposes diversity and hybridisation as a possible vehicle of knowledge and key to interpreting reality in a dynamic relationship between local and global scales.
Starting from these considerations, Awaken the sleeping giants has brought together art practitioners from different backgrounds and contexts involving them in a common reflection that could lead to shared conclusions to be declined in individual daily practices and in a broader transmission.
