“Satan was the most perfect of the archangels. His sin was pride. He could not wait for the fullness of grace and fell before time, like a sour fruit that falls from the tree that sustains.” – in Inferno, Dante

r e i p o s t o r e i m o r t o * The slow prose of the world *

From the idea of outbreak, a scenic construction brings up a social moment of rupture located in the past, preceding a general conscious of humiliation and desecration of the present.

The state of emptiness integrates reminiscences of primordial crimes, where the components from the former phenomenology of the world are reestablished in order to compose a new conception of reality.

The impulse of nature breaks through the space, built up as a simulacrum and driven by human technology (smoke, wind and light).

The presence of the natural element is transversal to the entire course and repeated over a continuous process of rise | fall | transformation, a slow development, reducing the world to a state of mineral and organic suspension.
