Hidden among daily things arise new worlds, new dimensions led by metaphors that alter the perception of an immediate reality. The absurd, the paradoxical, the humorous are to be found in our body.
A daily body decontextualised is not only the reflection of what was there, but is related to a consciousness of disappearance. Articulated behind its normal appearance and recognizable and familiar to us all, it hides a weirdness that yields new sensations and different perceptions.
