Antiquated frames
Of night pool
Shining on steady shore
A mirror for seeing tumultuous sky
Tiles graven as sabulous coast

Ladders rolled into forlorn sheaves
Like bootlegged boose In dark doldrums
Wind between ground and lid
Arcane hovels pervade in dawn.

Accumulation of vulnerability, collective world of avalanches, this ancient land - ascendance, that so often takes on the countenance of
being in more than one place.

The patterns repeat themselves, adorned in anguish, with a feeling, compelled to vaunt - lustrous arrival in overwhelming lines.

'The Lost Columns' is a deluge of unbroken slashes in Arcadia between Arkhad and KAOSMOS. Arriving at the same place, in the presence of mutual accord.

The Lost Columns

KAOSMOS - Occulta Traumas

S﻿ound artist Filiz Sert aka Kaosmos responded to artist Leman Sevda Darıcıoğlu as part of their collaborative project "The here next time*". 

Inspired by May Ayim's poem “Community”, The here next time* focuses on the lines of community building in its beauty and struggles with references of queer vulnerability. Starting by a reflection on the gravity as an obstacle and support at the same time, the work questions how the present time has been and is being shaped within systematic marginalisation under the normative cis-heteropatriarchy and the traumatic baggages coming through. While doing so, the installation proposes a non-linear approach to look into today and the future by addressing to non-blood-tied ancestry coming from the past and community support mechanisms in the here&now. -  Leman Sevda Darıcıoğlu

"The here next time*" is part of rongin shagor, an artistic intervention starting with a poem by May Ayim. For more information on rongin shagor, please visit www.ronginshagor.com and www.oyoun.de
