Orpheus
and Linead
|
The secret of Orpheus is hidden (or encoded) in the
images — the secret of the flight out of the hell and
into the Earth-world, and, ultimately, into the Divine
Domain of Conscious Light.

Adi Da’s digital drawings are informed by a
complex vocabulary of forms, colors, and spiritual concepts.
In His suites, Orpheus One and Linead One, He
uses two major visual elements in each work, which He calls
lineads and geomes. Lineads are hand-drawn gestural marks
and curvilinear lines; geomes are solid geometric shapes.
There is a momentum that takes place as the lineads uncoil
upon the harmoniously positioned blocks of colors or the geomes.
Together these forms unite to create a sense of dynamism and
movement within the drawings.

The
Quandra Loka Suite
Adi Da describes the Quandra Loka Suite
as being of "indefinite length". It is a vast Suite
comprised of over 21,000 images. Here are a few.

Adi Da writes about His Quandra Loka Suite:
|
Quandra Loka is a visual meditation on a very
simple circumstance: a woman in and near a pool of water.
Narcissus, the archetype of ego, gazes at his own reflection
in a pond, never able to contact the "object" of his
self-enamored affection. But Quandra, the true beloved,
is one with the water itself, whether in or out of the
pool.
I shot the majority of the images in Quandra Loka
underwater, or with the camera lens partially submerged
in water, so that the water functions as a vast and
subtly complex lens, achieving visual results not possible
by any technical means. The images are made by a "technique"
that requires continuous participation in the living
instant of the photographic situation — sensitive to
the constantly changing sunlight conditions, the ever-shifting
minute movements of the subject, and even my own ability
to stay submerged underwater. This "method" is beyond
conceptual effort, beyond conventions of control in
the ordinary sense, beyond point of view. This process
of generating images — involving absolute awareness
of every detail of what is occurring and (simultaneously)
an intuitive trust in allowing the ultimately unpredictable
process to take place — is a means of allowing reality
to be self-manifested.
I intend these images to "picture" the unity of the
undifferentiated reality from which all appearances
emerge in a constant flow of changes. The entire span
of human possibilities is reflected in these images
— both "positive" and "negative." But all possibilities
are seen in the context of that inherent unity or indivisible
space. The positives and the negatives are all transcended,
rather than any attempt being made to render them acceptable
in and of themselves.

In late 2002 and early 2003, Adi Da Samraj created the photographic suite, Quandra Loka. The images are generally multiple exposures on a single black-and-white frame of film. Adi Da then created configurations (diptychs, triptychs, and polyptychs) from the single frame images.
Music is "Facing Beloved", from the CD, Facing Beloved, with John Wubbenhorst (bansuri), Subash Chandran (ghatam) and Ganesh Kumar (kanjira). This piece is based on a melody from J.S. Bach (siciliano) with elements of Raga Kirwani. |

 Fourteen men were required to position the biggest
of Adi Da's Art Pieces from Orpheus and Linead
at the Saatchi Gallery!

 It
was a bit of a drama because the exhibition walls weren't
even built when we arrived on Tuesday. So two days later,
and with a great deal of care by devotees and many others,
Adi Da is finally in London!
