The Plastic Monkeys Will Cease To Exist, GM
The plastic monkeys will cease to exist, GM!" is part of the "Deus ex machina" series, which alludes to the false miracle, an absurd and fantastic solution to the irreparable human problems, in a separate imaginary realm where a divine and implausible solution is found to the relentless passing of life. I explore the potential deformation of time, transforming into an imminent and virtual time that unfolds through a series of frozen yet existing moments in various facets. The narrative flows between the concrete and the ephemeral, presenting a scenario where time distorts and events occur within a hyperactive gaze. The composition features a disarticulated red plastic monkey grasping three "Barro Negro" skulls adorned with the ETH seal, alongside a visible "GM." The presence of the Post-Neanderthal Faker, wielding the sword of power, gives rise to the entire arrangement. Additionally, an effervescent metallic broth unveils glimpses of modern luminal remnants. This ensemble confronts the illusory nature of time, deploying compositional elements that allude to a suspended internal war, to an irresolvable moment where the intervention of a benevolent deity seems more than necessary to restore order.
