Perception as source and limit of our desires. The politics of perception, its liberation. The social shaping of the meaning. Communication as suggestion. Visual poetry in unconventional languages. Breaking and challenging performative resources. Changing strategies. Decoding the accommodations of art and culture, its connivance with the horror. A double code , real / illusion , of the artist as a shadow, his own and the context shadow, which transforms artist and context. Humour and liminal play, short -circuiting the language’s logic and the audience’s mind. Action under dim light, stressing the direct perception.
