The moving ribbon writes

music: 19 May 2020 Lockdown Improvisation by Craig Denham, Kerikeri, Aotearoa

ribbon handlers: Ursula Christel, Sen McGlinn and others

filmed in Aotearoa New Zealand and Friesland, The Netherlands

Persian text: Baha'u'llah, The Hidden Words
Persian Hidden Word 39.

The title refers to the Persian poet, Omar Khayyam's famous quotation on detachment and the animation of a text penned by Baha'u'llah also refers to detachment. The ribbon plays in the wind and tumbles and falls as if without a care, while at the same time forming and unforming associations with worlds of meaning. Perhaps the ribbon, a symbol for agency is a sign of faith, after a time of uncertainty and upheaval.
