Magic
The
real world lives and coexists with the oneiric, the surreal, with dreams,
symbols, myths, fairy tales, magic. If that which is concrete can appear clear,
measurable, objective, and rational, there is something, however, that
sometimes escapes us. A vast bibliography and an immensity of works have for
centuries been chasing that fleeting something, that trail, that intangible
element that can alter reality. Rites of crossing space; mysteries that yield
inalienable temporal depths to scenes; architectures tattooed with symbols or
based on figures and forms capable of building connections; cities whose
meaning and significance are not limited to the realm of objectivity: magic is
the impalpable connection between reality and something other, it is the
search for a possibility in the existing.
