The Butterfly Dream

Once upon a time, Chuang Tzu dreamed that he was a butterfly, flying about enjoying itself. He did not know that it was Chuang Tzu. Suddenly he awoke, and veritably was Chuang Tzu again. He did not know whether it was Chuang Chou dreaming that he was a butterfly, or whether it was the butterfly dreaming that it was Chuang Chou. Between Chuang Chou and the butterfly there must be some distinction. This is a case of what is called the transformation of things.

The transformation of things proves that the differences among things are not absolute.

Imago, is a series that was born from a text by Jorge Luis Borges and Margarita Guerrero, the "The Book of Imaginary Beings". Which, makes a collection of strange beings that have emerged from human invention.

The concept of Imago ("image" in Latin), in zoology refers to the perfect metamorphosis of the insect. In psychology, however, according to Jung, it designates the internal image, that representation of a particular person that we have inside and that most of the time is unconscious.

Imago makes reference to the internal image of a person, who co - inhabits in his interior. And which comes to the reality generating a monstrous vision.

Revolution from the Latin "Revolutum" can be translated as "Turning".

Revolution is a radical change or transformation over the recent past and has transcendental  implications because is a breakdown of the established order. Revolutions are born as a result of collective constructions.

The concept is generated from the relationship between the revolution and a tornado. The idea of the head as the main module that generates helicoidal upward movement shows that the element generator or motor of change is thought. The tornado is used as a symbol of a force that can achieve changes.

Seek to represent the multiplicity of the same being.

It is a game between a still image (painting) and slide projections.
