Flowers are like sweets

A first step in my work process deserved a written support. At the stage where I happen to be now, I do not intend to have a literal transcription of those manuscripts onto a videotape, but a syntagmatic treatment that will enable me to research into the possibilities of a new syntax, combining text and image as well as new possibilities and conditions of visualization.
I think that a work never ends. There is always something else to be said, plus the fact that there is no reply to what is said, since signifiers always refer to other signifiers. Borders are blurred. Material supports are a means, an accident in the process; not a minor one, indeed; unpredictable, perhaps. That is why I am interested in the construction of a narration throughout time and space, while considering re-semantization conditions in manners of expression that circulate in different environments.
Las flores son como los dulces, a game of language...Comprehension demands that images be sacrificed; comprehension of images demands that language be sacrificed.
