FIDIPPIDE

Fidippide is far away, softy leaning against the humid, velvet lined space of our collective imagination. He is the emule of the Attic warrior, a fitness of the bloody battle of Marathon and herald who bore the news of victory during the long run only then to exhale it with his last breath. When Barokthegreat and I thought of the title of the piece, at one point the term “gimlet” came up. A “gimlet”is a medieval craft tool used to drill holes in wood. This i show we worked: there are no evocative images piling up in this work, there is nothing visionary; instead there is a patient and exhausting movement timing on a specific point, wearing it out until makes a hole, the beginning of every vision.
