mala voadora

sim sim não não

"If I think of someone who tells a story, I imagine a group of people huddled and around them a huge space... particularly scary... maybe they're leaning against the wall, maybe close to the fire, to the fireplace... somewhere, to me, a story is a shelter. [...] The story teller is, at the same time, in the center, intimately, and far on the horizon. He's the horizon, with the story of one side, and in the other, with the universal."


We could trace a line - an horizon - which, at times, we'd designate as "storytelling" and to which all the narrative (or human memory) would converge or diverge, making this line vibrate, like a vocal cord does. Here we are, then, with an instrument by which we measure the tension variations between men, the volume of their noise, the scope of their disagreemnet, the texture of their malaise... in a kind of poetic surveying, common to each literary expression. 
sim sim não não is an attempt to temporarily suspend a passed conversation between John Berger and Susan Sontag. If they tried to reasonably believe the differences in personal paths, relative to the inheritance left by storytelling, here, in this project, the differences are imposed to overlaping, as if everythings depends, for just moments, of this small gesture, to a small vision of the original thread, of the horizon line, of the human voice, presumedly lost, no one knows why...
