An object will always start in a stationary position and will exhibit movement with the help of an outside acting force. Once the force acting upon it weakens, it will then move back to its stationary position. We start our journey at birth and ends at death, but there were various points in our life in which we start a new journey. We start to learn, we start to explore more things, make new experiences, and sometimes these actions do not just end in a single point but may also influence other people to pick up from your end point to be their starting point.
People within the society move around a dimension of physical space at a specific time of existence. All of this happened in a certain time within the physical dimension after which all of the experience that happened were merely memories – memories stored within the minds of the people in that time, or memories stored within the dimension of that space. This phenomenon of space is what they call the psychic value of a place.
Rather than just assessing a place within its natural qualities, the historical aspect that was captured in that location adds up to the value of it. The psychic value of a place piles up like layers that exist atop the physical one. Unique to one another but also were able to intersect with the other layers.
“A line starts and ends in a point” features new works by Bato which explores on the relationship between spaces and the different layers of dimensions; the society with the existence of people and their individuality, and how a place captures the convergence of layers of points into lines and how each line overlaps to other lines.
