ERUTAN MANIFESTO
THE 111 SUNFLOWERS PRESENTED HERE PERFORM.
THEY SPEAK TODAY AS A POLITICAL, SYMBOLIC ACTOR,
THEY ARE CITIZENS OF “ERUTAN”.
THROUGH THEIR PRESENCE, THE SUNFLOWERS FOUNDED THE APPOLITICAL COLLECTIVE ERUTAN FOR MOTHER EARTH.
THE AIM IS TO REBUILD THE INTERRUPTED COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THEM AND MAN, WHICH HAS DETERIORATED,
THE SUNFLOWERS REMIND MAN THAT FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS THEY HAVE SERVED THEM AS FOOD, CULTURAL
SYMBOLS AND REMEDY.
IN THE LAST CENTURIES, THEY HAVE RECOGNIZED A NEW
HUMAN BEHAVIOR PATTERN, THAT WHICH CREATES LIFE-THREATENING CONDITIONS FOR MOTHER EARTH.
STARTING TODAY, THE SUNFLOWERS REFUSE TO SERVE
AS A CULTURAL SYMBOL FOR MAN.
FROM NOW ON, THEY WILL ONLY ACT
AS A REFLECTIVE SURFACE FOR MAN
SO THAT MAN CAN FIND THE TRUTH
ABOUT LIFE WITHIN HIMSELF.
JUST AS WATER’S REFLECTION DOES.
