Extracts from the Fabien Ribery’s texts
“Time is out joint” wrote William Shakespeare in Hamlet. Time is out of tune, disrupted, disjointed, disoriented. More than ever, the future is uncertain, between an ecosystemic disaster diagnosed as a new disappearance of species on a planet Earth, made worn out by the ravages of extractivism and mass consumerism (Anthropocene), and the invention of a new collective way of thinking, commensurate with a collapse perceived by each other."
"One can walk for a long time in the landscape, be enchanted by a stream, picnic in the clearing of a wood, without realising that the place, like many others from now on, has become unlivable, that it is evil. These are places of invisible health scandals, rotten fruits of the industrial exploitation of the land and of human inconsistency. By making it pay its throat, by extorting its matter, by profaning it without any awareness of its fundamental unity, we impose a distress on it that will soon be transmitted to the carefree walkers who find themselves in the perimeter of its dismemberment."
“What Humans deepest have, is their skin”, wrote Paul Valéry in a phrase as much definitive as paradoxical. Because the skin is not a fronter, a kind of neutral interface between spaces outside and those inside, but because it is a fundamental language, expression, writing. The soul is often sought in some ethereal region of the being, but it might just be there, close to us, against us, inside us, in the skin we pinch to make sure we are not dreaming, in the cells of our bodie."
