Prometheus, Golem et verbum absconditum

2022

The Creative Word, hidden, for others lost, is the secret passed down for centuries by the Initiated. Handed down “mouth to ear,” the search for the Word has been approached for centuries through legends and creator myths, where music and the ability to create with sound-word have an inseparable bond. The Jewish myth of the Golem, an anthropomorphic creature, a clay automaton that “comes to life” and “loses” it through a combination of letters, is an emblem of this initiatic tradition. Four are the heads of this Golem, some on the ground, lost, as Four are the Ages of Men awaiting the Fifth. Something is still missing from the Golem-Man. The word whispered by “Prometheus” is just the beginning of his journey.
