PRELUDE
"Monster? Me?
Battles, going from the sea to the river, from the outside to the inside, in search of the Treasure, of the Healing. This thing, shapeless, weightless, that doesn't dwell here or there.
Camouflaged in a sedentary lifestyle, we will be eternal nomads in search of ourselves (while fear remains on Earth).”
STATEMENT
“there is Mars in life.” is about our collective imagination and the use of a sidereal language in an endless and cyclical search, without time or direction.
The human has a fetish for the unknown, always looking for symbols while creating symbologies, in a constant pursuit of the invisible, the immaterial.
What we want we still don't know. But we know that what we have now is not enough.
