Instead of illustrating any specific piece of news in whatever anologic way, in this occasion I've wanted to chop under the influency of two unusual news not linked between them, mixing both with a forthcoming event.
The news are the $25m fine to Banana Chiquita and the lawsuit of His Majesty King Cobra (aka Ernie Chambers) against the Almighty , who daringly proclaims that the Creator laughs with the increasing succession of disasters He is sending to mankind.
The forthcoming event is the impending 90th anniversary of the Russian Revolution of October.
The collision between the chosen elements of three selected sources produces many layers of meaning, and very by the way I have not wanted to emphasize any, in order that he is the proper spectator who, in accordance with his intelligence and criteria, selects the most adapted for him.
Consequently don't fear to imagine, don't disregard any relation you can find, all they are right.
Nevertheless I feel forced to give some guidelines.
This entry has nothing to do with art. I've preferred to speculate about the classical themes of Divine causality and destiny beyond the human will. Therefore there is nothing arbitrary here. The colours chosen have a purpose, and even the name of my entry, DESAGUADERO, has to do with another weird event happened this week.
Don't try to understand the sense and opportunity of three logos
placed on the top left corner. For the time being accept them as
simple irrelevant adornments. They belong to the future, being very
likely that in a few weeks the news REVEAL us their intimate relation
with the rest of the composition.
For whom they want a more close approach to the engine of meanings
I've designed here, I recommend to them to listen to this
little tune, to
read its lyrics
and to have a notice about its
history. For reasons nor I myself understand I have been
listening to this music up to concluding the composition.
But if in spite of everything you are unable to align chains of
meanings or, worse, you don't understand anything, don't worry, you
will not be the only one.
