Event map

The Promised Land … floating and shipwrecked of milk and honey … land of extraordinary fertility … hope, longing, and serenity …

About

An essential image with a pantheistic and sexual heart, sacred and profane … eternal existence of temptation and desire … fragile and infinite suffering.

Humanity redefines itself … coherent identity and torn world … circular existence … uncertain awareness in the infinity of time and space … imponderability … uncertainty … human beings are consumed in an eternal battle between instinct and will.

The instinct is satisfied infinitude but the will have no limits and is never satisfied … it never reaches equilibrium – and never will – creating a metaphorical monstrosity.

Disenchanted dream of an infinite empty tundra
