October the 24th, Colonia overnight – the pictures

The Colonia of the Village in Borca, reborn, was well and truly alive last night (i.e. Saturday October the 24th 2015 when the first overnight guided tour took place). From 9 to 12 PM about two hundred people have moved-followed-interspersed-lost-and found themselves in here, traveling through the dark tunnels in the apocalyptic belly of the awakened giant.
The pitch black and silent tunnels, in which the waves of people armed with headtorches opened paths and ways of light, weren’t silent at all anymore, and noises of various kinds could be heard, resonating (in the Auditorium, those of il Pesce & Bros: bravo Federico, well done rock always is close to one’s own home – ours, too – just like Beach or the Lightning Bolt).
The inner corridor of the Colonia is four kilometres long: every flashligh projected again and again Gellner‘s wonders on walls and ceilings, DEFORMING THEM.
And, thus, we can say this: DEFORMATION is everything.
Those unable to deform themselves, are buried in a rigid (mental, spiritual) shell.
Everything that changes is deformed. Finite forms are negative and paralysing: it is neccessary to move, BREAK, deform them.
To make room, MAKE SPACE, it is necessary to break a rule, a convention, a fixity.
Culture is plastic deformation of mobile space.
Where DE (de-form) isn’t a negative particle, but atomic neutron, necessary for its fission (we’ll talk about it later).
And thus, yesterday, the Colonia inflated, and inflated the spirits (those of the ones who cultivate them), the light has spread, has taken bites out of the dark, starry night, opening ways, excavating these tunnels (the rump, too, is a tunnel).
The electrical works were on (Domenico Antonio Mancini, Silvia Hell, Vanja Mervič), filled with light, like some of the various spaces (Auditorium, Lower Cabin and connected ramp, M Lab), some pieces, too, bathed in natural illumination (Andrea Visentini‘s candelabra, Elisa Bertaglia‘s glows), as well as people: that is how energetic terraformings are determined.

Atoms hitting one another, the fissionable material, here, is miscellanous: there are therman neutrons, high cross section (#progettoborca) which trigger kinetic velocities (ti moves in space), and then the moderators (although this is a quick reactor, not an obtuse machine: the explosion is built, nuclear fuel and bonding energies take some atoms from here as well: Gellner‘s atoms, Mattei‘s, the ones of Italy‘s history.
Energies that are brought along, energies that are taken: centrifuge of meetings, and careful measure of all the parts: that is what “regenerative project” means.
PROJECT here is a synonym of ACTION, not of meditation – consider the expression “tasting wine”, and people tightening their taste buds and contemplating closed forms; come on).
Soon, the pictures of this inner sky (stars were whirling in the reverberating siderals).

While this morning (Sunday November the 25th the Colonia remained open to the public), again teachers and students of Milan’s Polytechnic roaming the Colonia.

And Carlo and Brando and Jacopo fighting at the patronal festival of Borca, asking the inhabitants to vote for us in the chefare contest (and you can do that here), until November the 5th.
C’mon Papo, we’ll eat the poacher up with honey fungi (it won’t be fillet, just something to toughen the teeth).

In this photogallery, some shots from the overnight tour of the 24th, and the diurnal one of the 25th.
