Spiderweb Content

As in many ancient traditions, India offers a Spiderwebstory: “When Indra fashioned the world, he made it as a web, and at every knot in the web is tied a pearl. Everything that exists, or has ever existed, every idea that can be thought about, every datum that is true—every dharma, in the language of Indian philosophy—is a pearl in Indra’s net. Not only is every pearl tied to every other pearl by virtue of the web on which they hang, but on the surface of every pearl is reflected every other jewel on the net. Everything that exists in Indra’s web implies all else that exists.” Brook, T. (2009). As we work between cultures, we got inspired by the spiderweb as a symbol for the interdependence of everything in the world. In search of their connections the artists tell the story of the creation of the human being with dance, music and video-art.
