From the obvious to the obtuse. It's not me, it's you / Performance by Carlota Cáceres / 2018

That?

In any attempt at expression we can distinguish different levels of communication and more specifically two somewhat contradictory facets: the first is intentional (no more and no less than what the sender wanted to say), THE OBVIOUS SENSE, but there is another sense, the added extra, which is like a kind of supplement that the mind does not quite assume, stubborn and elusive like the guest who insists on staying in your house when there is no need for it. We will call this sense THE OBTUSE SENSE.

How do we perceive the musical event? How does what we see influence what we hear and vice versa? How does the public perceive what the musician plays? How do our own memories or experiences interfere when attending a concert? It is possible that things only have the value that we want to give them, after all, in all forms of communication, everything depends on the point of view.

Things may only have the value we want to give them, after all, in all forms of communication, it all depends on the point of view.

From the audience, an amalgam of events is assumed: the obvious and the obtuse of the transmitted message, what happens between the notes, what is unconsciously articulated; all this added to its multiple interpretations as much as a simple look can say it all without uttering a word.

My hands want to see, my eyes to caress.

As?
