Inside 2000It started the day of our first eclipse when, in extremis, we bought a pair of special black glasses allowing our eyes to observe the phenomenon with attention and well protected. At first, the light didn’t change a lot. Then suddenly, the temperature had dropped down, the wind had started to blow, the shadow had intruded on the streets and the birds had fallen silent. The lunar disc covered the sun and we, like in the uncertain times of the beginning of the world, we were sent back to ancestral emotions which we could recognize without never ever having experienced them before. A few months later, a nurse approached with an endoscope a little hole on the surface of a spherical piece of jewelry. On the monitor’s screen appeared the image of a kind of immensity in which a brightness coming from an invisible source revealed against the light a shape in abeyance. Philippe Solms |
