The Tale of Two AnimalsLONDON: the first thing that comes to my mind is rats and peacocks; rats that want to be peacocks; peacocks that want to look like rats.
To write is like to recreate live experiences that I had at a particular moment in time. Is to “put” these “images” together and create a fantasy narrative about a place. If in one instance people come to a quiet place to have a drink, see a movie, to talk or just to wait; on the other, they can also walk and travel along streets, roads, cultures and experiences while looking to find whatever they looking for. But, in both cases, a sense of sharing, of community, belonging is the ultimate aim and drive. In the XIX century the Open Salons pictured that rarefied sense. Nowadays, it is through films and movies.
Meanwhile, we all share a universal sensation that we all want to be singular. Definitely, or God hates us all, or He is just playing around with us all, for His own amusement! The other day three people got together, at the same place, with three different Apple computers; in the 80s there was IBM, and the others; in the 90’s there was Windows, and the others; in the 00’s there was the general proliferation of laptops. Labels’ change whereas, meanwhile, the content stays the same – an illusion that we are all unique. But we are or rats or peacocks. In the end everyone want's to feel special; not unique!
