VERBA VETITA
(poetical installation)
November 24 – December 16, 2025
Metropol Gallery
(Vana-Kalamaja 46, Tallinn)
Open by appointment only
The sum of suffering gives rise to absurdity.
Then let the absurd possess a body,
and let its vessel flicker
something black upon something white.
Human compassion for another human exists despite the endless abyss between our minds
and yet we try, with brief symbolic scribbles, to describe the entire palette of the world.
Is this language truly rich enough?
Let a blizzard sweep away this entrenched system (of words…),
let it leave ruin in its wake
for on the foundations of the former empire,
amidst the echoes of grand forms,
flowers will still rise.
And how tender it is to remain uninvolved,
to simply observe,
so as not to accidentally disturb the young pollen
that is only beginning to grow
its own nature of understanding.
And each of us, caught in nets of unseen lines
in the subtle verses of a new song
will be permitted to love without ornament.
Let it be so!
Let SILENCE cry out at the top of its voice,
like a fairy tale surrounding us,
cradling a child
in the cradle of dreams.
VERBA VETITA!
