Manca Juvan & Bojan Brecelj: Back to Eden
“Back to Eden” is a collaborative project between fellow artists Manca Juvan and Bojan Brecelj. They found a common inspiration in the time of the COVID-19 pandemics. The unstoppable flux of (mis)information, combined with the lockdown, has brought them closer towards their feelings and little truths about our current lives. Based on those small, but potentially significant revelations, two-colour images were created to support the momentum of so-called Coronavirus crisis, to be truly our opportunity to stop and look inwards, not only outwards; to look back to the future and move on to be closer to Eden.
BACK TO EDEN
By Manca Juvan
It's a time ...
of sadness,
of anxiety,
of loss.
It's a time …
with the privilege
to pause.
It's time ...
to face
the uncomfortable
strip down
to the simplest
life
and dare
to see anew.
It's time ...
to make amends,
within,
without,
with not a single doubt.
It's time …
to see through
the many blinds
that will bring us
to new finds -
to love,
harmony,
humanity,
forever intertwined.
It's time ...
to stop
and restart
dreaming.
It's time ...
to take the time
for that which
gives (us) life and meaning.
