The piece I am doing now for the exhibition at the Freud Museum is based in the first vision […] driving
my car on a highway, just after the sunset […] in direction to the south zone of Rio de Janeiro. The first thing I saw when I heard about the Freud Museum was somebody on the Divan position connected by two parts of his spirit to a double cocoon skin, one inside the other around him, one for his conscience and another one for his unconscious […]. Back to our Tractatus sculpture, we have this body placed in the center of the psychological reactor, with the energy of the conscience and the unconscious […] both flow to the infinity in different directions arriving indifferent places. There is an interconnection on this transit that flows, the fluxus to some symbolic matter that is outside of our cocoon-cube reactor, I'm calling it ID-IDeuse(a)s*. Not that I think that it is outside of us but beyond all the science there is, something untouchable for us.

* Deus: god
* Deusas: feminine plural, deuses in Portuguese, as far I know is considered a masculine word, but I guess masculine would be Deusos and maybe in a former time the idea of Deus God had no sex
