To the forest I lick the two balls of its eyes



Collaboration with a text.

I can fit my whole body in the hole now. Downwards the forest is wild. I descend with a little spoon, if I brought it and if not with my hands, broken from so much digging, and I scrape the walls. I scrape them until I have formed an oval, an egg of me. An egg where the shell is the whole earth with the Ganges and the Chipalo River and the Andes mountains and all that. I've already made the reverse journey. I flew ten thousand kilometres and swooped down and landed inside an egg like an idiot bird. I landed as a foetus, a bloody mass, an embryo, a dream of a tree intoxicated by a fungus. This city does not exist. This city is being dreamt by a mango tree, a pine tree, a fig tree whose tentacles are entangled in the mycelium of a Muscaria. A giant oleander drunk on psilocybin and dead squirrels, that is having a long, long nightmare in which it sings a song about a child who opens a hole in the forehead of a forest. But what the heck is a child, the oleander wonders.

Islas Atlánticas


lslas Atlánticas, is based on the appearance of a new archipelago of islands in the Atlantic Ocean: fictional territories that appear in a parallel reality, the epicentre of a new human history (with its migrations, settlements, cultural crossroads, symbols, images and sounds.  

The exercise of imagining a new territory and a new society implies different challenges and raises different questions for these artists. ‘Even if it is a fictional exercise, it is worth asking: can the encyclopaedic description of the ‘other’ - in the manner of old anthropological notions - be overcome in order to show their existence in a more dynamic and sensitive way, are the borders of culture circumscribed to the invisible borders of political geography, in how many ways are we actually inventing the lives of others, how are we actually talking about ourselves through the description of others, and how are we actually talking about ourselves through the description of others?

Chak Chak Chak Chak



We have prayed to a giant, ferocious opposum to come down from the sky and avenge us. Eat the rich!, we implore him and he answers to us with a thick music, a mixture of whistling and clattering of bones, the bones of the richest: chak-chak-chak-chak.
