According to Native American legends, a long time ago a Lakota spiritual leader had a vision
while he was on the top of a mountain: IKTOMI spirit and symbol of the search for wisdom had
appeared before him in the form of a spider and had begun to weave a web. IKTOMI told that in
every moment of life there are many forces in action, some good, some bad. In the meantime
his web had become a perfect circle. This circle-shaped canvas was to be used to help people
achieve their goals by making good use of their ideas, dreams and visions. This circle-shaped
canvas was to be named “dreamcatcher”.

KAIROS is a project by Susanna Cati articulated in seven artworks/containers, each of which
contains fragments cut from the space/time of the artist’s life, and seven tapestries/stories,
made by layering reflections and observations inspired by KAIROS, here understood in its
meaning of tiny correction that promotes a new positive outcome of a phenomenon.
The lockdown anomaly plunged into our lives suddenly at the beginning of 2020 has changed
our perception of CHRONOS (the linear time). The 69 days during which time has taken on
parameters different from those to which we were accustomed have led the artist beyond this
known dimension towards the exploration of KAIROS, a time indefinite in duration but defined
by the quality, the thickness, the depth of the events.
The artistic research coincides here with the personal one in a painstaking work of recovery,
classification, analysis that draws from his own history: sifting through the memory he identifies
every tessera that makes up the complex mosaic. The result of this exercise of deconstruction
and reconstruction is declined in the seven chapters of a narrative that investigates the mystery
of who we are, balanced between who we have been and who we will become
