GENEALOGIES 

It presents a fragmentary and subjective tour across our recent art history, in a string of names whose connection we can only sense and discover as historical proximity shows us its absolute arbitrariness.

In this way, the established relations are, rather than linear bonds, a complex 

network that weaves styles, forms and stories which legitimize each other, not so much due to proximity, but to being part of a text that is written with images. 

HHYPERTEXT

Words redefine what we see by showing what can’t be defined.

For that purpose there are new adjectives, adjectived nouns and unconjugatable verbs that maintain a complex relation between what we see and what we read.

Hypertext is a tool and, at the same time, a rule that we can use to build critical texts, where the artist’s work, like in the weekly horoscope, can be interpreted and read beyond all human understanding.
