<<“Planet Syncopia” - The manifestation of life. It is about the transformation of different materials and stages of energy into what we call biological life. Some forces interfere throughout endless time to amalgamate elements tighter together until life manifests out of it. My theory is that the most important forces acting into the elements are frequencies. So there’s a kind of music all around even before biological life manifests itself. This is what changed my question from a „when“ into a „what“ is life itself. Therefore I think there are other forms of life based on other minerals or even just based on energy on Earth or elsewhere. This way I came to see time and dimensions in another perspective. If there is an energy called life or a life called “energy" than we have to think the impossible! In my art I first establish the impossible. With the interference of frequencies (with a special instrument I created just for that purpose) on oil and a mixed substance based on water. First I design an abstract foreground of the composition. This abstraction conducts me to let life manifest itself. So I created “Planet Syncopia”, where this strange creatures, the “Syncopians”, manifest and breed in a syncope of time. They barely touch the ground and reproduce through vibrations.>> (Helios Boechat)
