KRISTINA TICA
THEY WILL CALL ON ME, BUT I WILL NOT ANSWER
2019
single-channel video
a soul-cleansing slime ghost,
from the screen's abyss,
slowly dissolves, fading into digital baptism.
a collision of digitization and protocol,
a black pixel-mud, a mourning mask imposed.
born in moonlight's glow,
upon the phosphorescent screen.
whosoever calls upon me,
shall receive no answer.
a consequence of their fixated gaze,
the spectral thread of my lament,
their unwavering attention to this cyber-cave,
now closed and locked: "do not forget.”
an echo of a digital Eurydice,
the voice reverberates,
unanswered,
for there is no
cyber Orpheus
to grasp
or hold.
