EVIL EARTH

EVIL EARTH is an image inspired by anxiety: the modern form of the world, echoing in our hearts with an anxious sense of loss of this very modernity. This is the land that has reared under our feet, forcing us to dance a rather bitter dance and this is a dance of loss of coordination. The rhythm of a drum roll is a desperate gesture of salvation, opposing with an antiresonance to the deafening and imposed rhythm of anxiety.
The excited one finds an unexpected shelter in the tense, pre-thundering work atmosphere, its air about to explode. This is a paradoxical emotion of peace in the midst of the battle that was described by Ernst Junger: “Astonishment can grow enough to overshadow fear: when such a thing happens it’s like a thin veil, which almost always hides the world from us, rises. It is therefore said that calm reigns in the epicenter of a cyclone”. “It’s a fragile, glass peace, but we are still here, My Drummer is ours”.
