The Circle of One
Contemporary Tantric Geometry
The Circle of One represents the contemplative symbolic imagery of people connecting
as individuals, transcending ethnic, religious and class differences
through a process of reaching a higher state of consciousness
by visual, tactile and aural contact and stimuli.
Universal symbols cross time and culture.
These symbols resonate in our subconscious minds with an ancestral harmony
whose power reaches our inherent nature.
The circle is one such symbol.
It is Nature's omnipresent building block, reflecting itself in atoms, the helical spirals of DNA,
cells, seeds, the sun, the moon, and the planets.
It is the universal womb holding the limitless potentials of humanity,
the union of man and woman, sex and sensuality.
It is the void of nothingness and the fullness of all: the duality of existence and non-existence,
the infinity of the universe and the finiteness of experience.
It is all possibilities at the moment of choosing,
all possibilities at the moment of realization, the ultimate crossroads.
The circle is limitless light, the cycle of life and death, and the divine essence of god.
It is total perfection.
Antoine Bonsorte and Abram Zinberg use the symbolism of ancient cultures
as a backdrop to present unique modalities of the circle emphasizing its power,
depth and sensuality for a modern interpretation of tantric form.
The multi-media installation and performance echo the primal resonances of the sculptures.
See, hear, feel
a journey to the beginning
