Parêntesis, Parenthesis 2013
It's a human plight to grow and evolve in society. Only within a system do we feel confortable and secure, even if that same system might also be the cause for our stagnation and revolt. This system in which we are born in, admittedly evolutional and empirical, is frequentely based upon hypotheses whose applicability is increasingly out of step with reality. The more our society operates through machines and virtual systems, the harder it is to defend other interests beyond the purelly economical ones, disregarding other possible realities that encompass different values that don't satisfy those whose philosophy is to always want more and more.
We live today in a global world, where it's easy to lose sight of the individual or the community. Our actions are controlled by outside agents that define what is best for us without even consulting us. All over Europe, there are values, people and cultures being forgotten, relegated to the background in favor of the European Common Good. We live under siege, in a buble that is about to burst everywhere without many to believe it. They want us to believe that all that revolves us is merelly an interlude in our speech, a parenthesis of controled action for our own sake, for our own survival - when the truth is that the system has to and will change. Because the system fails and the revolt and the demand for new narratives will always exist. And I believe that this parenthesis we now live in is only the preparation for the end.
