It’s Not Here, It’s Over There (Cie Galmae)

How does the crowd move? Does one move differently when alone, from when being amongst a crowd? What determines the “We”? What is an individual within a group? At the departure, there is a stone. With the stone, there is a string. It is rolled up, tangled and we untangle it. We move about, avoiding collision, negotiating our way we find our place. There is something which surpasses the sum of individuals. At the end of the string, does one find the “We”?

Inspired by his own feelings during a demonstration in Seoul in 2015, Cie Galmae offer a sensitive experience of our place in the ‘crowd’.
