" Wo Es war, soll Ich werden."

Causa. I join these words for four people, Some others may overhear them, world, I am sorry for you, You do not know these four people. Ezra Pound / "My day passes between logic, whistling, going for walks, and being depressed." Ludwig Wittgenstein / "On a deux vies, et la deuxième commence quand on se rend compte qu’on n’en a qu’une" Confucius / "My works were designed to amuse, annoy, bewilder, mystify and inspire reflection." Man Ray / «Todas las teorías del dadaísmo y del surrealismo son monótonamente repetidas. El “ready-made” inunda el globo. Cuando todo sea “ready-made” no habrá que tocar nada» Salvador Dalí, 1932 / "existir apenas levemente / como el sol de tarde que dibuja / sombras de las hojas de los plátanos / en la pared que da al oeste." Beatriz Vignoli / "Anything can happen. Especially nothing." Michel Houellebecq

Laocoön and his sons, also known as the Laocoön Group. Marble, copy after an Hellenistic original from ca. 200 BC. Found in the Baths of Trajan, 1506

“The statue of Laocoön and His Sons also called the Laocoön Group, is a monumental sculpture in marble now in the Vatican Museums, Rome. The statue is attributed by the Roman author Pliny the Elder to three sculptors from the island of Rhodes: Agesander, Athenodoros and Polydorus. It shows the Trojan priest Laocoön and his sons Antiphantes and Thymbraeus being strangled by sea serpents.”
