NOTES ON DYADIC CYCLONES (5)
Curated by Benjamin Tischer / New Discretions
A mini-online exhibition based on one text of John Lilly, gifted to the organizer by Genesis Preyer P-Orridge. “The Dyadic cyclone is the combination of two personal centres. In this book it is a male and female combination -- two rotating cyclones with their enclosed centres, one rotating to the right and the other rotating to the left. In The Dyadic Cyclone, Toni and John ask the question 'Is it possible to merge two centres, two cyclones, one male, one female, in such a way that there can be a rising, quiet centre shared by both?' In our five years together, we have sought means to achieve this between us. This book is the story of that five years insofar as we can tell it at this time.”
Genesis and Lady Jaye saved all hair and nail clippings, when possible. Almost as if they were preparing for self-imposed Santerian love spells. In this sculpture, the left is Genesis; the right is Lady Jaye; the center is them intermingled.
