Before light, before dawn, there was Day 0—a primal space where time and matter were still manifesting in gestation. In this sub-flat interstice, everything boiled down to infinite potentiality, a fertile void imbued with unfathomable mystery. This Day Zero was the suspended moment before the genesis of the visible, a moment of precarious balance between shadow and the unknown. In this waiting space, forms were already emerging in the form of fluid sketches. Architecture and nature blended in a silent ballet, suggesting the intrinsic duality of the built and the wild. Barely sketched contours evoke a reality still in the making, where every line and every surface remains in a perpetual state of flux, in an infinite dance between the tangible and the ethereal.
The concept of Sub-Flat, applied to this primordial moment, translates into a mise en abyme of the ability to enrich emptiness with narrative texture. The absence of light, far from being a negation, reveals itself as fertile ground for imagination and the awakening of consciousness. In this primordial crucible, darkness was not nothingness, but the matrix from which clarity and life would later emerge. The shadows were then whispers of a still-elusive potential reality, where the barely perceptible silhouettes suggested the presence of entities in gestation. The atmosphere, charged with an intangible tension, invited profound introspection: each fragment of this zero day carried within it the seed of what would become light, form, and life. This pre-existence thus foreshadowed the ultimate transformation, anticipating the act of creation that would come to order the universe. This moment, suspended between the indefinite and the infinite, is the cradle of all creation. It unites the essence of uncertainty and potentiality, revealing the inherent beauty of untamed chaos.
Day 0, embodying this silent preamble, is both the foreword to the universe and the first scene of an eternal aesthetic drama, in which Sub-Flat reveals the poetry of a beginning before light transforms everything. And it all begins with this collaboration between Muriel Lherm and Treeskulltown…
