Zero Point denotes the starting point of a given journey. I attempt to explore Zero Point and watch it transforming into a utopian idea. My Zero Point is getting freed from being a point and becomes a journey of my eternal now. My Zero Point is constantly trying to recollect what my body already knows and to be complete again. I am tired of knowledge and linearity, I prefer the sounds and the dreams. I want to be blinded by the sun outside the cave, by the flash of my photograph, my truth. My senses are extending and I can finally see. This is a tribute to inner knowledge, to connection with the whole, to now, to Zero Point, to life.

I observe my Platonic cave and I create from it a concert seeking the truth. My new eyes serve as my extended sense but remain two due to the limitations of my body. I will always see through my two eyes. My new eyes record my ritual to break the patterns of what I already know. I am saying everything simultaneously and listening to what is left. I am in my temple, my reality, my viewpoint, my body, my Zero Point. I am liquid, blinded, in my now.
