Portmanteau(2022)
A room in the ocean. An armed dancer transits landscapes. Chronicle of a pistol.
In the “Logic of Sense”, Gilles Deleuze describes the portmanteau words as a “synthesis of coexistence, which ensures the conjunction of two series of heterogeneous propositions”. In this sense, “Portmanteau ” is an experiment that bets on the fusion of objects, spaces and characters, apparently unconnected, with the intention of proliferating their interpretations and becomings.
