"(...) when exercising their bodies supercelesti action on an item, they work to their similarity and also produce something similar to themselves and almost of the same species. Therefore, since they produce and what element of the element elementary elementary thing, it necessarily follows that they themselves are a part of the nature of the item. And to better understand this, it should be noted that the Sun produces the Focus bodies saturated with water bodies and urinary crystal ball. "
St. Thomas Aquinas, Treatise on the Philosopher's Stone,

Excellent finesse that distinguishes the design of miniature Colette Baraldi is suitable if the transcription of a whooping oneirism bloody disorder akin to melancholy. Impossible gadgets, objects of horror ed'anatema, traps and similar appliances abstruse instruments of inquisition reinvented in the materials of everyday contemporary world, composing an intricate encyclopedic compendium in which they investigated the matter and liquid alchemy. The assumption that should the transmutation of the external accidents of matter, the revelation of the arcane and the subsequent revelation of the intimate nature of certain household items turned into something else before unknown. The subtle flow of the narrative, a sort of ecstatic "automatic drawing-autobiographical", when split and fragmented, thus describes a laboratory of ingenious tools, a toolbox of ovens, racking, vases, containers, clamps, drills, crucibles, tubes, distillers, which combines elements organic flesh and blood, with every shade of metal, plastics and technology. Similarities in detecting sophisticated, metamorphosis and obscure practices both symbolic and metaphorical, Baraldi Colette comes to an accurate classification in which the design is close to the magic-witchcraft practice-quackery same language of alchemy all categories (technological, cryptographic , imaginative, anthropomorphic, fantasy).

Mundus est fabula: reveries, lighting and lucid dreams
by Patricia and Matteo Serri Silingardi

Nell 'investigate the unusual election in which the artistic daydream about the "doze" and "mixing" between the demands of reality and unconscious drives, the concept of imagination, always understood in the sense of creation and wonder, pretense and artificiality (as what is done on purpose), it declined in the image of reverie, lighting and lucid dreaming. These three states, these modes in which the imagination is expressed as a suture between real and unreal without showing as a mere evasion disengaged is suspected as a possibility and in-depth analysis of consciousness and reality, as an opening to the creation of the universe. Against the rational logos, the concern of profit, the measure morale and immanent structure of things, Fantasia will cover the dualism in which they approached dream day / night vigil / lighting amazing. In it will be in the form of dark visions, promiscuous, "sleepy" and not addressed, not subjected to the superstructure logic, aesthetic and moral. The application will be fantastic, in these ways, anything but carefree connotations but essentially filled with every possible freedom analytical result in "the revelation synesthetic" as "sensory polyphony" "Investigation" and "meaning" where virtually all live together in harmony universal human senses to achieve the supreme knowledge. Hence the arguments that will form a "dream of an enchanted world reconstruction" as a condition for increased ecstatic sense of wonder and beauty of the seizure, erotic-veiled, magic-circumstantial universe.

The soft tones of spiritual reverie melt condense into a kind of empiricism will addict, all'oggettualità concrete and tangible. As usual in the work of Adriano Persians, the materials are significant and concept, a symbolic remnant of a mood close to concerns and for this reason, the decorations, drapes and scrolls that decorate the sedan (made entirely in blue cloth surgical) lend themselves to suggest a change of perception regarding the distressing condition of existential passage.
Before being created or found, the items offered by Adriano Persians have been dreamed of, not consciously designed, in meditation before the execution, but designed for the entire work of the unconscious dream. These are "dream-subject", condensing them into a job autoplastic and "alloplastic. These products then enter into a complex game of moves and substitutions (synecdoche, metonymy, metaphor) and will be invested with symbolic values \u200b\u200bbe identified according to the romantic idea of \u200b\u200bthe "irretrievable human concern."

"Zero point five milligrams of lysergic acid in solution, three drops, a sip. He sits and waits. The Sun enters the white room of his laboratory for Pharmacological Research, second floor of Sandoz, Basel. They are two of a special day, April 19, 1943: chemist Albert Hofmann, 37, five engaged in experiments on alkaloid content in ergot, has just swallowed the first dose of LSD of History. "

Beyond the many glories of the Revolution decadent Psico following the discovery of the new" Eleusinian Mysteries "by Albert Hofmann (thousands of artists, writers and musicians simultaneously have the same vision sublime), the interesting point is the admission of the existence of a different transcendental reality and fantasy that goes beyond the physical manifestations quotas. Mindful of Paradis artificiel Baudelaire, in contrast to the "veils of Maya" and "Plato's cave", the Swiss chemist has shown that certain psychoactive substances extracted from plants, under certain conditions, can result in visionary states in which the imagination proves to be the echo of a transcendental truth, primal and unknown. Because it is scientifically proven that the reality perceived by our eyes portrays a world with limited capacity of receptors and human senses (that is, the animals see and experience reality in a totally dissimilar, and so for example bees, equipped with antennas visual sensitive to wavelengths in the ultraviolet spectrum and ultrarosso, see colors invisible to us) here is that the resulting stereoscopic and floral fantastic compendium all''illuminazione lysergic received the revelation of a deeper and ineffable wonder, to "see for the first time" the colors, the depth and the secret soul of things in the universe. Finally, to further sweeten the cursed and pathological meanings of shamanic fantasy invented by Hofmann, suffice it to say that there is scientific evidence that LSD, unlike many drugs of the twenty-first century, does not produce dependence, does not destroy cells and has no medical contraindications . The only unknown is to overcome the shock of revelation "(" The lighting consists of a radical change of consciousness in which the outside world and the "investigator" itself undergoing a profound transformation that can fill in joy but also in awe. The boundaries between the outside world and the world seem completely suppressed. The feelings and fantasy are enormously intensified. Fantastic visions, inspiring at times from the most sublime bliss, sometimes of a terror among the deepest, are perceived as totally real. Often reappear consciousness vivid images of past experiences, sometimes belonging to early childhood. Lighting is leading the recruitment of a particular group of drugs that have been suggested various names, such as hallucinatory, fantastic, psychedelic, entheogen. For the most part is still in use the term psychedelic, which means expanding the soul. Basically, these substances are: LSD (an abbreviation of Lysergsäure - diäthylamid: lysergic acid diethylamide), psilocybin, Messalina, in order of their effectiveness. It is important and interesting to see how all these substances are related to drugs and sacred plants that have been used for millennia in religious and magical practices of healing in Mexico and in adjacent regions of Central America, where even today are used according to tradition.

* The lucid dream: "Something Alice (Neco z Alenky)
(Switzerland, West Germany, Great Britain, 1987) Directed by Jan Svankmajer

Sunday, September 21 22:00

Synopsis: Alice is the housekeeper on the banks of a stream. It's sad, pulling pebbles in water. Browse the book of the ruler and take a slap on the hand. In her room Alice sees a stuffed bunny to life. Exit the room with him and finds himself in a field. The rabbit slips into a drawer of a table. Alice follows him. A tunnel and a lift. Alice, having fallen farther and farther behind the rabbit, tries to open a key with just a tiny tiny door. He discovered that if you drink the ink becomes small, if he eats a cookie and take back great. Puts crying and the room is flooded. The rabbit on a sailing boat. Alice eats sweets, becomes smaller, the door opens, all the water comes out and she and the rabbit are dragged away. They find themselves in a field. The rabbit the door to his house. Alice, the rabbit in the room, drinking ink, again becomes large and is barricaded in the house while the rabbit trying to re-enter with the help of other strange animal like a lizard that has a skull for head and chickens that seem to horses. The rabbit throwing rocks at Alice, the stones are transformed into sweet, Alice eats them, small returns, escapes, is taken from the animals, ends up in the pot, is dragged away and closed by the hens in a kind of laboratory where skeletons of animals are born from eggs, bread from sticking nails, the boxes of food out insects. Alice is the key to the room. He goes out, there is another room with holes in the floor where they exit long socks that seem to worms. Alice is extraordinary encounters: firs that become large and then small, a little house from which they are thrown dishes and pans, a fish and a frog in eighteenth century clothes. Alice finds a rabbit and receives an invitation from the Queen. Also meets the Mad Hatter who takes tea with the rabbit. Following the rabbit, comes from the Queen, who wants to prosecute. But Alice eats lots of sweets and wakes up in his room.

filmed entirely obsolete in an old bakery in Prague transformed into a creative studio, the notorious Victorian fairy tale is transposed here by following the appearance of the lucid dream, a dream in which you have the perception that you are dreaming, fantasizing. The metamorphosis, sounds real, the concepts of "condensation-displacement-replacement" that characterize the plot scrupulous allude to and recreate a hallucinatory sense of reality and subconscious remembering unforgettable feeling of childhood. Indebted to the Freudian studies, revealing the enormous potential of the unconscious is not bridled by reason, that seems to be a world unexplored, free and totally unpredictable, in which dreams and fantasy have a structure, a meaning, a purpose, a content manifesto of Mental latent, narrative condenses a great proposal for reconstruction of a reality that, although the array of dreams, concerns glossy hype of the vigil.
Jan Svankmajer is authoritative spokesman of the movement "poetic" surrealist Bohemian existence since 1934 and is still active nell'avvalorare a "poetry for the five senses," an art "light and jaunty, wonderful, joyous, and anti-heroic lovable "that transforms his life in an" eccentric carnival, Harlequin in feelings and images, drunken gang film, wonderful kaleidoscope. " A feature of Czech surrealism is in fact the constant wonder, the sense of wonder that accompanies every artistic production. Determinism is also crucial fantastic adherent to the practice of automatic writing that was of Breton and Soulpaut. In fact, as defined ("pure psychic automatism by which one proposes to express, both verbally and in writing, or by any other means, the real functioning of thought"), plans to use automatic writing for the poetic dream material of nocturnal dreams without changing anything, and even letting you in complete freedom and spontaneity, but merely to record clearly the flow almost like taking dictation. The sequences of images and words follow each other and merge, producing semantic short circuits, the effects of unintentional humor, novel analogies, outbursts of nonsense, versatile ambiguous and confusing. The fantasy dream will then be implemented in an "empiricist" as an axiom of a literature full of visual distortion or twisting of meaning, loss of proportionality that has finally revealed the superior reality of certain forms of association neglected before now ("A dream is a lucid dream in which the subject is aware of dreaming. When people come to realize that dream, their dream is generally not 'unreal' in every sense of the word. That is not vague, confused, ill-defined. Once the dream has reached the point in which the dreamer asks: "This experience belongs to the dream or real life?", the dream seems to be an accurate imitation of real life. "(C. Green, Lucid Dreams, 1971)

No sanctuary, no altar, but only beautiful ravines and isolated trees where the leaves el'impenetrabile tangle of brambles seem to discern the subtle animula of "a young girl dressed in white."

High Hard Cervix Late Period

11 Lady Havisham





I went, then, and I found myself in a room large enough, well lit by candles. There penetrated the slightest glimmer of sunshine. It was a dressing room, as I supposed, looking at the furniture, though much of it was of forms and uses unknown to me, but there towered a table draped with a gold mirror, and at first I realized that it was the toilet of a large lady.
If I could identify this object so readily, without a great lady sitting before it, I can not say. In a chair, a ball resting on the floor of the toilet and his head leaning on his hand, sat the strangest lady I have ever seen and I will be ever allowed to see.

was dressed in a very luxurious fabrics - silks and satins and lace - and all in white. The shoes were white, a long white veil descended from the hair, the wedding flowers adorned her hair, but they were white. Some jewels sparkled on her neck and hands, and other shone there on the table. More clothes, less luxurious than those he wore, and half-filled trunks, were scattered everywhere. She must not have finished dressing, because he wore only one shoe, and the other was on the table next to her hand - her veil was not styled in half, watch and chain were still there, along with a lace to put on his chest, the handkerchief , gloves, and some flowers and a prayer book, all piled in disorder about the mirror.

It was in those few moments that I made out all those things, well, the first glance revealed to me more than you might imagine. I saw that everything was in the room, and that should have been white, he had been a long time ago, and now had lost its brightness, was faded and yellow. I saw the bride in wedding dress had withered like the dress, like flowers, and left the other glory than that of sunken eyes. I saw that the dress had been cut for the full forms of a young woman, and that the figure on what time it collapsed was all skin and bones. (...) It was when I
found myself standing before her, avoiding her gaze, I noticed every detail of the things around her, and I realized that the clock was stopped at nine and twenty pendula in the room was too firm on nine winds.

CHRISTIAN RAINER
Episode 9:
a neutral figure, a communion in the suit and compromise the pass

"Several people have in their own component unknown, the unknown aspect or disturbing element that will identify the figure of the wolf.

Each of these people draws its wolf using the hand of a neutral black figure.

The figure is a neutral intermediary with the function of putting into communion all those distinct identities and their unknown side.

This is also a communion gives rise to a third kind or greater identity made up of many children.

A row of eight trees that will be visible only after the steps described above, is both the new nature that is created and the site that hosts it.

"The metamorphosis of the individual forms depends, as in Goethe, a common shape or gestalt that noticeable on an intuitive level, is the basis of all the elements belonging the same series. "
M. Reithmann


In modes poor (us) and tied to the concept of minimal art and enlarged totalizzante1, Christian Rainer proposed action, a kind of "social sculpture". In a lucid and run a partition schematic conceptual and idealistic to find even a fleeting shape to the dark folds of the mind and a keen mental concept of subtlety. The hardening lucid and detached performance, where each of the visible fascination is subject to an 'invisible' chromophobe and essential, following the dictates of the transference, empathy and automatic writing.
The passage of a black figure and neutral acts as an intermediary, a medium; becomes the shaman transcriber of that subtle social common denominator that is the unconscious (here identified with the allegorical figure of lupo2). The black figure drawing, in fact, a "flock" of wolves implying the idea of \u200b\u200b"putting in communion, and shared an indescribable feeling. Hence the creation of a new identity-magnitude larger, composite, "transcribed" in a subsequent symbolic backdrop, a visual container on which stands the image of a row of brooding cipressi3. Touching the sublime and the depraved, the underlying theme is the ambiguity of a panic and tripartite nature: human, animal, plant. Succubi of the mysterious laws of metamorphosis and the likelihood, the intimate reason of existence of these "nature" aspire to a whole full of dreamlike, set up as an intermediate realm, "liminal space, a place" infrasottile and supernatural concerns utopia bökliniana4 perceptual memory. As romance frozen and lacerated icon in the action of Christian Rainer, not least aware of how objects are often inadequate and defective vehicle to allude to meanings of one spirit and indeterminacy, then leaves and returns fragile and fatal examples, fragments, notes unvoiced.

2 "Until the modern age, this animal of prey in Central Europe was considered very dangerous. No wonder → tales in it constitutes the greatest threat to mankind, which takes the shape of the enemy in animal form, and that wolves are considered bloodthirsty humans, having undergone a transformation (werewolf). In ancient Germanic mythology it is said that the powerful wolf Fenrir was chained, but in the final battle, able to break the → chains and devour the sun, until the father Odin → did not kill him in a duel, but was in turn killed. In antiquity, the wolf was considered a "ghostly animal," which made it look dumb. Herodotus and Pliny tell us that the members of the tribe of Scythian Neuroi turned into wolves once a year, however, after summing up the human aspect. Therein may lie the memory of a → totem-wolf of the tribe, and even Genghis Khan boasted of their descent from a "wolf elected," gray-blue, created by the supreme → sky. Although the wolf, as he sees 'night' can be regarded as a symbol of the morning sun (Apollo Lincei), about it overrides the meaning of negative image of the savage and satanic powers. Even in ancient China, the wolf represented greed and cruelty "wolf eyes" means distrust and fear before the animal of prey that occurs in a pack. In contrast to the above, there are stories in which wolves are breast-feeding and growing children. The feared predator may then, under certain conditions, become protector of defenseless creatures, though in any case prevail always the fear of the "big bad wolf." In Christian iconography the wolf appears first as a symbol of the evil enemy that threatens the flock of the faithful. Only the saints are allowed to change into "devotion, with their loving persuasion, the character of this wild animal - so, for example, Francis of Assisi, William of Vercelli (who saddled a wolf), and Hervé Saint Philibert of Jumièges. It is said that St. Simpert Augsburg has saved a baby from the jaws of a wolf and has forced the animal back to its mother →. The 'jaws' s → Hell "themselves are represented as the mouth of a dragon or a ferocious wolf. In Physiologus, dating back to early Christian text, the wolf is an 'animal cunning and evil', which approached the man paralyzed him and then attack him. The "wolf as a lamb →" is the symbol of false prophets and tempting, whose purpose is to "bring to ruin the simple." Some expressions in symbolic state: "putting the wolf in the sheepfold; follow the herd, the leopard can not change its spots, good luck." Some saints, like St. Wolfgang and St. Lupus, are depicted along with wolves, is an allusion only due to their names. Alchemical iconography Metallorum talking about Lupus (the wolf that devours the metal lion → "free." This must be a procedimentodi refining impure gold, with the help of antimony, antimony is the "wolf gray "of the alchemical laboratory. The fact → that witches were often depicted riding wolves, or sometimes in the form of a wolf, be attributed to the ideal connection wolf → devil.
psychological interpretation of the symbols of the prevailing view that the dangerous predators might invade the civilized land of the soul as "wolves of the steppe," and man, that he met them in dreams, is required to channel a large amount of energy strangers, which can not occur without the triggering of considerable tension. While Freudian psychoanalysis could not leave without affecting the 'Wolfman', long the subject of therapy, the school of CG Jung is generally considered the images the wolf as allusions to the threat of uncontrolled forces that appear in an 'intelligent' and unconditional. It also indicates, however, that in this fable, "impetuous unconscious' may be duped by the child or the kid noticed, that the great hunter and he can certainly win. In medieval bestiary is once again an evil animal, the wolf's eyes → shine like lanterns at night, depriving the man of the senses. Even the devil has deprived man of strength to cry (pray) →, and his eyes shine clear, "because some works of the devil and are blind and crazy people look beautiful and holy" (H. Biedermann, Encyclopedia of Symbols, 1989).

3Anticamente this tree evoked mainly a symbol of fertility because of its vaguely phallic. The Middle East stories symbolizing the lover and was also the image of immortality because of evergreen leaves and wood considered incorruptible: where they had carved the arrow of Eros, the scepter of Zeus and the club of Hercules. The Persians catches you plant a symbol of fire because of its shape evocative of the flame and said he was the first tree of Paradise. These characteristics match those symbolic medicines through the leaves and fruits that contain, in addition to a high tannin content, a highly aromatic essential oil with which the Romans prepared perfumes. The reputation of the funeral cypress (Cypressus semperverdis) came instead from the Greek and Latin poets, as suggested by the Ovidian myth of Cyparissus, began to consider the tree of the dead. Cypress also entered in the symbolic compositions of the Renaissance, as the despair that the Cavalier Ripa describes as "Woman clothed with the cap, which pulls the white, in his left hand to keep a branch of cypress, with a dagger in the chest, will be act almost falling, and on earth there will be a broken compass "(A. Cattabiani, Florario. Myths, legends and symbols of flowers and plants, 1996).

Toteninsel 4, 1880
Oil on canvas, 111x155 cm
Basel, Kunstmuseum.
E 'note the fact that the painting originated. Marie Bern, visiting Florence in 1880 to study the painter had requested "a framework to dream ...." Böcklin began work on the first painting, then stopped, and began a second ended in the short term. Accompanied the submission of the framework in Marie Berne with a letter (29-4-1880) in which he wrote: "You can dream until advancing into the dark world of shadows will seem to perceive the light breath that ripples the sea, and be afraid to disturb the solemn silence with a word expressed in a loud voice .... " The painting, in its solemn monumentality, is a celebration of the heroic beauty (infiltrated the island of cypress trees) seen as a means of death; Böcklin once again confirms the concept that sees beauty inextricably linked and dissolution. The work (and its series) achieved incredible popularity, so that every middle-class house of German culture possessed a copy. The title is due to the dealer Fritz Gurlitt; Böcklin had instead defined the framework for the first "silent isle" and then "Island of the graves." Many artists suffered the charm of this work and drew cuts, such as Klinger, such as De Chirico and Dali, I painted copies. Among the many assumptions to identify the "natural model" of Toteninsel, the proposed reliability is that which refers to the Swiss Cemetery (known as the English) to Piazza Donatello in Florence, as can be seen from the notes of the restructuring plan (1865) by Giuseppe Poggi: "At the Pinti Gate of the cemetery of the Protestants will be isolated, surrounded cliffs and deleted .... " Was buried there in 1877, not yet one year old daughter Böcklin, Beatrice (Catalogue by C. Nuzzi, in Arnold Böcklin and artistic culture in Tuscany, 1980). Patrick
