Giorgia Garzilli - La scimmia nel bicchiere

La scimmia nel bicchiere.

While you have every right to wonder what a monkey is doing in a glass or how it got there in the first place, in this case you might accept that sometimes, things just happen (as for instance, me writing this text). The more you try to find a reason, the stranger the world becomes; appreciating this strangeness of the world, while still operating in that which you now consider reality, will be the foundation for shifting the current trajectory of your life from ordinary to extraordinary. Once you walk in the realm of extraordinary, you may finally find the reason you were looking for: the feeling of finding yourself in a bigger picture with a world of details which only exist in the imagination of the author. Here, reality and fiction wink at each other, in this realm where gravity and anti-gravity coexist and you find yourself running after Schrödinger's cat. Perhaps you feel your stomach reacting to emotions, only to realize that it’s just another detail in this universe made up of unlikely associations.

Once you come to accept the rules of this new world, the images become a narrative and the narrative become images – the threshold between what you see and you don’t vanishes and suddenly, you are within the inescapable beyond.

Piero Golia
