Koronavirüs’e Yayoi'den şiir

İlham verici eserleri ile avangart sanatın mihenk taşlarından kabul edilen Japon artist Yayoi Kusama covoravirus pandemisi için bir şiir yazdı. 91 yaşındaki sanatçının Londralı galeri Victoria Miro’nun internet sitesinde yayınlanan şiirinde Coronavirus’e dünyadan yok olmasını söylüyor. Bu yıl birçok sergisi açılacak Kusama, pandemi süresince projelerini 2021’e ertelemek durumunda kalmıştı. Orijinal dili ile sizinle paylaşıyoruz. Belki coronavirus de bir şekilde okur.

Though it glistens just out of reach, I continue to pray for hope to shine through
Its glimmer lighting our way
This long-awaited great cosmic glow

Now that we find ourselves on the dark side of the world
The gods will be there to strengthen the hope we have spread throughout the universe

For those left behind, each person’s story and that of their loved ones
It is time to seek a hymn of love for our souls
In the midst of this historic menace, a brief burst of light points to the future
Let us joyfully sing this song of a splendid future
Let’s go

Embraced in deep love and the efforts of people all over the world
Now is the time to overcome, to bring peace
We gathered for love and I hope to fulfil that desire
The time has come to fight and overcome our unhappiness

To Covid-19 that stands in our way
I say Disappear from this earth
We shall fight
We shall fight this terrible monster

Now is the time for people all over the world to stand up
My deep gratitude goes to all those who are already fighting.
