Images by Alinka Echeverría, Mexican artist. From the series Lightness of Being.

And take a look at her mesmerizing video on the same subjet right here.

(The music of the video is by the fantastic Ariel Guzik, with whom we worked on a project while I was still with Laboratorio 060)

(“The brain appears to possess a special area which we might call poetic memory and which records everything that charms or touches us, that makes our lives beautiful… I have said before that metaphors are dangerous. Love begins with a metaphor. Which is to say, love begins at the point when a someone enters their first word into our poetic memory.”

-Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being-)
