FURYO - Possibles utopies
The breath, tells the origin myth, was the precise moment in which we became human. What was just matter devoid of any meaning, molded to the designs of a creator in his image and likeness, was filled with life and meanings. However, involved and impregnated with this humanity, it was no longer possible for us to undress ourselves, the body thus began to transform itself incessantly, becoming a specter and representation of itself and others, in a kind of curse. As foreign bodies, it was up to us to return to the creative raw material, to disentangle ourselves from the skin we inhabit and draw new dialogues from the fullness of a transfigured nudity, which springs from its own will and imposes itself through its imperfections and uncertainties. A nudity full of contradictions and irrationalities. Subjective bodies amidst the chaos of the eternal principle.
