where life has no value, paradise sometimes has its price...
"There is a way to escape suffering and to liberate yourself from all this misery! The solution is attainable to all of us. There is a place full of wisdom and light that is to be explored. Are you ready to look into a miraculous fantastic world? Joined in spirit we begina journey of discovery about lifes dramas, love, death and otherfundamental human and posthuman conditions. Let us seek for paradise !"
Inspired by a world of esoteric wisdom, dramatic film scenes and the pathos these can inspire in us, this piece plays with our cultural expectations and the conventions that come with them. It is teeming with apparitions that exist in a world of spirituality, love, death and in a sweet plastic paradise.
