Abstract

An immersion in the cell of contemporary culture reveals the advent of an imaginary inaugurating a unique synergy between the mind and the senses, between rational action and magical thinking. The worship of various fetishes that underpin our society holds for each person involved, a high degree of ecstasy and enchantment, but also a consciousness endowed with a memory and a highly refined know. Thus, the technique in his ancestral resonance and its seductive current forms again is the totem of society in pregnancy, your object of worship and its base of symbolic reference. His dream and its reality, as real as possible.
