Fantasized Fantastic Corporeal World (2019) is a series of ten drawings accompanied by a text box typewritten by the artist. The vignettes are actual stories published in local newspapers and quickly forgotten, swallowed by a media system constantly trying to catch up with the latest news. The stories are so ironic and paradoxical they seem untrue. However, they single out extra-ordinary experiences with the tools enforced by the “nation-state” to govern everyday life, from racial segregation to border control, currency deregulation, issuing passports to non-human entities, or creating fake embassies where law enforcement is out of reach. Sketched on a white paper with a simple pencil, every vignette reflects the transitory element of the story at a given time, suggesting a possible change in outcomes which could prevail over - or generate - a different narrative.
