Assemblage Point
The “assemblage point” is a fundamental concept in the work of esoteric thinker Carlos Castaneda. The assemblage point is expressed as a luminous point on conscious beings’ cocoons. Slightly shifting it results in a change of perspective on the familiar world. A significant shift results in entering one of the other worlds. This performance opens up a space of possibility where there is room for transformation and experimentation. Assemblage Point invites viewers to shift their luminous points visually and mentally. Then, perhaps, all of us will be transported to another world—the world of the past, ready to share its deepest secrets with us.
