Re-charge
or even stronger POWER UP happens when I am present in something.
Energy is growing when I give my energy at the same time into a certain
moment. The German Philosopher Hans Georg Gadamer called it „Dabeisein“. "(Dabeisein). Being present does not simply mean being there along with
something else that is there at the same time. To be present means to
participate. If someone was present at something, he knows all about how
it really was. It is only in a derived sense that presence at something
means also a kind of subjective act, that of paying attention to
something (Bei-der-Sache-sein).“ Gadamer,

Concept note by Dagmar I. Glausnitzer-Smith: The re-charge…
The action is the process itself/ Performance Art through its nature is
the offering of a situation unknown already, and the awareness of idea
and its origin. The situation initiates a private dialogue, and public
debate of concerns for your participatory emotional state, memories as
multiple chains of thought; each action is a pearl on a string, the
string which has been created in life in the world.
The re-charge of a moment is the power of individual, momentary presence
whether seen or invisibly absent, the congruence of self animates a
launch thriving into the fleeting moment: in silence or with
noise, in whispers or the highest energy of shouting into the world.
Holding breath and charging ‘anima’. (from Latin mind, soul) and in
C.G.Jungian Psychoanalysis, the feminine part of a man’s personality.
