Aldebaran

Aldebaran is the mythical star of the Eye of the Taurus (Alpha Tau, from the constellation Taurus), from the Arabic al-dabarān, “the one who follows,” the star of the Buddha's enlightenment, the Aleph. In this long-term project, the internal beacon is the one that allows us to dive into an archetypal journey and into the distended temporality of the puerperium and its radical nature. I investigate passages, initiations, transitions, invisible work, healing processes, death, and rebirth; the image as a mirror of the undulations of female subjectivity.

I carry out this investigation – which is also a fabric – by weaving together experience, intuition, and conceptual resonances. This last field includes the concepts of Limit-Experience, as “the response that human beings find when they decide to question themselves radically” (Blanchot); Point Zero, as “both a place of complete loss and a place of possibilities, because it is only when all possessions and illusions have been lost are we led to find, invent and fight for new forms of life and reproduction” (Federici); and Individuation, understood as the process of becoming oneself through an encounter with mystery, death, spirituality, and the unfathomable (Jung).
