Imaginarios recientes de la melancolía
Fear of the future, anxiety about the present, the culture of guilt, the illusory texture of reality, the labyrinths of identity—these are some of the distressing symptoms we observe in today's world. This essay unravels them, while simultaneously listening to the social pulse through critical thought interspersed with artistic metaphors and literary digressions. The goal of art, wrote Michel Leiris, is to explore inner demons. And what about outer demons? The truth is that they give rise to one another; individual symptoms and cultural signs of unease intertwine like a double helix in the DNA of humanity.
