From the Self- Awareness, liberation and actualization to the outer implementation: A Heuristic Journey By Laetitia Lévy
The set is first obscure for a good while. The visitor is required to remove his shoes and a patch is put on his eyes while introduced in a small humid type of textured cavity grotto, with earth sand on the floor. He is required to lie down, inserting his fingers on the ground. A long plastic sheet is covering him; then is thrown sand over it. He needs to experience death within his own vault. He hears some vague voices crying from outside. Then he needs to sit on a low chair for few good minutes, and a small voice tells him to Wonder “what did you leave behind in your past life ?”. There is the sound of water drop in the cavity in order to resent the humidity that could be in the tummy of his earth mother.
Then the “experiencer” is taken out of that cavity pretty violently, moved around in a wide room with still fairly no light; his eyes are still unable to see with the patch. He is span around the room with high pitched music, vent flowing over his body, then he is required to drink liquids while hearing waterfall sounds, to cross flames with sound and smell of crispy fire burning.
Then it becomes more quite: there is absolute silence. The visitor can listen at silence and at his own depth. He has to seat on a long chair and he hears to sound of a crunchy bread being sliced and is required to mastic it. He touches a smelly cheese that he has to feel with his olfactory sense and then taste it. We open a bottle of wine: all his senses are supposed to get involved: he drinks, smell, taste, touches, hear all at once.
Some small sounds of voice coming from a bit everywhere meaning nonsense are heard.Some external hands help the visitor standing up. Then the voice of just born baby is shouted in the room while his patch is removed from his eyes. He first sees a very strong light that almost make him blind. The light is coming from within a mirrored glass head, first very bright. Then it diminishes
When reduced inside the mirrored glass head slowly a light from behind the visitor is brightening , as if he become himself the light till he can reflect himself like in a mirror.
The Mirrored glass head is then rotating toward the wall at the end of the room. And from its eye is projected an circle like an eye on the wall with a complex pathway on the floor (it’s supposed to express the vision of the mind).
On the floor is drawn with inserted lights the “tree of life”.
The experiencing visitor is invited to walk through different spots and each time he reaches a place a light is turn on there and a name of a creative trait, skill, virtue or phase appears, and other light are turned off. Along we can see with arrow of light all the pathway, and sometimes some connections between those different places are lightened on, in the centre when boundaries are made. Two side for those path ways representing both brain hemispheres, joining and connecting sometimes
The eye projecting its vision of an eye keeps being reflected all the time on the wall. When the visitor is reaching the head of the “tree of life”, the projected eye on the wall keep showing a little Maestro man walking straight ahead but over the spinning circle.
Lines and drawings represent each phases he went through. He just has completed linearly a circular creative round Mister or Miss you just have experienced your own rebirth, a journey from the self toward the outer of creativity path, from a vision toward completion.
