A research into the unconscious from schizophrenic dreams and drawings. We are in the foolish human predicament of striving for a goal that he fears, that he has no need for. We struggle for contact, but we'll never find it. We don’t know what to do with other worlds.

In Dr Snaut’s words in Solaris, 'We want to extend the earth to the borders of the cosmos. The conversation is happening even if we initially were not aware, we were having one at all. Virus and toxic fumes are now being uncovered. As Olafur Eliasson inadvertently showed us in Your waste of time, the reality of global warming is unleashing several problems that we once thought to be buried. It materialized our guilt, fears and unfulfilled desires. The projection was inverted, instead of projecting ourselves into the sky, the sky conversely projected unto us. That is the case of the thousands of miners exposed to mercury poisoning today and because of global warming, that is the case for the rest of us as well. When Slavoj Žižek commented on Solaris he highlighted one of the main questions that this film poses, how to get rid of something that lies whining our own consciousness that precisely emanates from our consciousness. In contrast, the mining and metallurgic activities performed by the Spanish had an impact on the atmosphere of the entire South American continent.” In the words of Paolo Gabrielli, a scientist at the Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center at Ohio, “The metallurgic activities of the Inca had most likely only a local impact on the environment surrounding their mining operations. Moreover, as silver ores were filled with lead as well, in order to extract it, the miners needed to grind the ore releasing lead dust into the air creating an invisible cloud of toxic waste. Cinnabar’s toxicity to human beings is significantly less compared with elemental mercury, whose fumes affect the nervous system and can cause serious intoxication, even death. The Spanish conquistadors were attracted to cinnabar only as a source of elemental mercury, a material unknown to the Incas, that allowed them to extract both gold and silver from their ores. However, from the 16th century onwards that story changed, and their relationship with stars was transformed into a relationship with the sky more precisely with air.
