<\/em><em>temperature drops is a fragment of my soul that fades away.<\/em><\/p><p><em>To ignite in an instant and extinguish slowly, like the cycle of life: destined to drift little by little into darkness.\u201d<\/em> \u2014 C.E<\/p><p><b>THE BLACKOUT<\/b> explores the experience of slowly dissolving into darkness, a journey of transition between the two most intense seasons of the year: from summer to winter. In this shift, darkness envelops me and uncomfortable sensations emerge; my emotional state transforms entirely. In these moments, the symbol of the black hole appears in my mind, and for the first time, I observe it from a distance. Curiously, visiting the dark spaces of my memories drives me to externalize emotions, allowing me to move through this world with a bit more serenity. Every action I perform in The Blackout is a unique ritual.<\/p><p>How can I represent darkness through an action with my body?<\/p><p>My body awakens with heat, and I live my days with great intensity; in winter, I move more slowly because I don\u2019t have the same energy. This entire process of transformation, of oscillating between darkness and light, leads me to reflect on existence and emotional change.<\/p><p>Every year, I experience a new blackout. Reflecting on and bringing visibility to this theme keeps me alert and prepared for the next winter. Perhaps I won\u2019t be able to avoid the shift in mood, but I will know it is coming, allowing me to navigate winter with greater awareness. I believe in the constant transformation of the self; we are always evolving. I choose to believe that each new blackout will be a space to understand myself a little more. I like to think that from now on, I will be a spectator observing the blackout from the outside.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE BLACKOUT Club Bic\u00e9falo, October 2025, Madrid, Spain\u00a0 The ritual experience made me feel at home, wrapped in the warmth [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_header_footer","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2262","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carolaetche.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2262","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carolaetche.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carolaetche.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carolaetche.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carolaetche.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2262"}],"version-history":[{"count":64,"href":"https:\/\/carolaetche.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2262\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3465,"href":"https:\/\/carolaetche.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2262\/revisions\/3465"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carolaetche.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2262"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
