It could be a simple cardboard box. Like all those that are scattered in the street and that nobody looks at. We only stop at the useful and shiny objects because our eyes became detectors of symbolic capital and money. There were other attempts before. To dignify it, to turn it into something else. Anything else, in fact. To dislocate it. Now look at it, it is no longer a box. When something changes size, it dislocates its use and becomes something else, but where do things go when they stop looking like what they were? The devil is in the details, they say. It's how it's folded. What was pursued was the image of what the box could be if the conditions to turn it into this-other-thing-that-is-no-longer-what-it-was were met. Everything you have now fits in this box, but the whole other part is built with the invisible that it encloses. But if you look, in truth, in this box there is no inside. Nor is there a box. I think it all seems more like a delirium of form and a delirium of your perception.
