No era miedo, era humanidad: Un reconocimiento a la incomodidad de la vida ante la falta de propósito

Abstract

The social reality created by human beings is an artifice born from our passage through the world. I affirmed this idea by observing and projecting onto myself the routine of my parents. The impact that this imminent way of living had on me led me to ask: Why would I want something like that? I failed to find an answer; as a consequence, I faced thoughts of death and hopelessness. This project, however, does not revolve around me. It is not therapy, but a confrontation, not mine, but yours, with the questions that arose from that first inquiry: Why do we do what we do? What is the meaning of existence? Many act without questioning their participation in the artifice; I cannot do that. I propose a space, an interstice, where it is possible to recognize that existential discomfort as a necessary, even parasitic, part of life, one that can renew it, paralyze it, or take it away.
