Mwangi Hutter, Ours To Hold And Caress And Cherish, 2017, acrylic and diluted chalk on canvas.

Ours To Hold And Caress And Cherish

by Hanif Abdurraqib, in response to Mwangi Hutter

A heavy grey cloud unlocks its doors & the moonlight stomps off behind it, a petulant child leaving behind smudges of darkness in its wake & that leaves us with nothing to speak about except the brutalities of feeling. I don’t think I want to make it to the end of the world this time. This one ain’t my type of apocalypse. I want a meteor, a sky black with sudden arrows. I want to know exactly how much time is left, to see the numbers on the clock descending. I might be in love, after all. I might slide a love letter across a table & take one last delight in watching a lover read whatever I’ve scrawled across paper while some fire consumes us or a rising ocean holds us patiently in a waiting palm before it makes a fist. To believe in the reality of a single soulmate is to believe that every lonely life exists because someone didn’t travel towards someone else. A child dies somewhere and then, decades later, someone lives a series of unsatisfied days. Watches the game shows alone & goes to bed early, each day its own small apocalyptic orchestra of near-silence. The woman who lived in my house years before me is dead, but not gone. The arrogance of the living suggests that the dead rattle windows, that they nudge an old glass off the edge of a counter because they want us to be afraid. As if the dead have any use for our fear. The woman who died in the house that is now our house was alone in the attic for a month before she was found. Her mother found her, surrounded by mirrors. There are mirrors everywhere in the house that is now ours. On the landing between floors. In the hallways. In some of them, I am divided into several, smaller selves, each of them wrecked by their own individual longing. From the attic, I hear moans while the sun is out, lashing the highest windows with its heat. But at night, it is always laughter that echoes down through the vents, trembles the walls, runs its hands along my back until I fall asleep & it is like being held, in this way, by a lover from a world that has already ended. A different lover for every reflection in the room. And yet, when I wake, someone I loved once is still alive, somewhere else.

“Churned up Scratched All restfulness shattered Fragile serenity gone astray Mindfulness kept at bay By haunting thoughts Recurring impressions A madwoman Jumping up and down Simplicity eradicated Savaged As emotions run wild Giggling and crying to myself Making notes for no readers All the understanding that once was Has dried up and blown away How can it be That the gate once closed behind me Looms up before me again? Agitation grips me like an iron claw How sturdy this cell! Sleeplessness ravages Echoing voices collide inside my head Never will I rest in clarity Before fully mastering this deceptive mind Habit is the last enemy That I must make my friend If I could rest as confidently as I reach out for food If I could be in awareness as naturally as I am in sleep I could be sure to die properly Freed of the confounded mind”

Live Dangerously on view September 19, 2019–January 20, 2020

in Washington DC

Live Dangerously reveals the bold and dynamic ways in which female bodies inhabit and activate the natural world. Twelve groundbreaking photographers featured: Louise Dahl-Wolfe, Anna Gaskell, Dana Hoey, Mwangi Hutter, Graciela Iturbide, Kirsten Justesen, Justine Kurland, Rania Matar, Ana Mendieta, Laurie Simmons, Xaviera Simmons, and Janaina Tschäpe.  They use humor, drama, ambiguity, and innovative storytelling to illuminate the landscape as means of self-empowerment and personal expression. This presentation is drawn from NMWA’s collection of modern and contemporary photography and enhanced by key loans that feature women connected to nature through the lens of the female gaze.
