OBJECTS EXPRESS THE PEOPLE’S CIRCUMSTANTIAL STATE. In Arcadia, through a jumble of mattresses, useless pieces of wood, helmets, rugs, ladders, plastic garden chairs and stamped bags… Arcadia needs nothing but its own nonsense to expand on the fundamental issues of the cycle of matter, which, of course, includes us. The women in this piece know well that gaps are never filled and that abysses have abysses of their own. Because of this, and because they think togetherness together, they are experts of the baroque in comfortable clothing. The updated myth of Arcadia tries to look for some innocent joy to make the world stumble. That world where, according to powerful people, you have to make it. We don’t know where it leads, but we are imbued by the doctrine of achievement. On the contrary, pleasure without progress has bad press. The curtains of Arcadia open before this landscape. Myths allow us to travel without moving and all the movement in Arcadia resorts to triggering our minds as to sparkle the dream of knowing without traveling, of proposing truly free knowledge. That, too, is the baroque.
