Apparently, Gonza takes matching his pajamas to his bed linens very seriously; he'd rather die than look plain. There's a pragmatic intelligence to facing nightmares looking good enough to try and escape them unscathed. Even though the fear and helplessness of being unable to move seem illogical, it's always preferable to be caught with your style intact by the anguish of trying to scream without a voice, while your subconscious takes over.
It turns out that this isn't just another nightmare. It's a disorder known as "sleep paralysis," which is nothing short of a glitch in The Matrix, awakening, or sleep-deprivation syndrome, is a mistake in the transition from wakefulness to sleep or from sleep to waking. It's as if your mind is already awake but your body is still asleep. Although these episodes are brief and don't compromise your health, the experience of being conscious but disconnected from your own biology is visceral and terrifying.
This phenomenon raises questions about the eternal debate between dualism and materialism. Is the body one thing and consciousness another entirely independent thing that simply inhabits it?. These types of events force us to question the true relationship and dependence between our mind and matter, raising the question of whether we are masters of our will or simply spectators of a neurochemical short circuit in the system.
In any case, what is clear is that Gonza was calm despite his deep anguish. He knows that if someone rescues him, they won't call him tacky. As for me, I'm going to take a nap because I think I philosophize a lot in my dreams and I always wake up with some new idea to keep creating stories.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION AND PUBLISHING COMMITMENT
If you have decided to purchase a unit of You won´t scape, you've made an excellent choice. You're not investing in just another photograph: i don't sell catalog prints. While a large print shop might produce 100,000 copies of a blank image for any waiting room, I'm limiting this essay to a select few. It's the difference between decorating a wall and imbuing it with an identity shared by only a small group of people.
Why such a small edition?
- Workshop Warranty: Limiting the series allows me to personally certify that every cotton fiber and every drop of ink is exactly where it should be.
- Finitude: Just as an honest conversation can't have a thousand participants at once without getting lost, these pieces are limited in size so that the dialogue between the paper and the viewer remains intimate. We don't want to trivialize ideas that have taken years of study as if they were just a merchandising product.
Display standard
- Paper: I only use the best exhibition photographs papers: Canson Baryta 310 g/m² and similar.
- Authenticity: Each work includes certificate of authenticity signed by hand and a system of double void hologram to ensure the integrity of the copy.
File note: Apart from the 100 limited editions, there are 2 AP and 3 large format museum edition copies (Giclée process).
Printer's Note: I apply standard museum margins (10% on the sides/top and 20% on the bottom). The artwork is signed on the right margin, but if you prefer it signed on the back or without the signature, I can adjust that. What matters is the idea.
Shipping: I'm deliberately overly cautious with the protection; it personally pains me to see a piece arrive damaged. Inside the package, you'll find the artwork wrapped in acid-free tissue paper, a certificate of authenticity, care instructions, cotton gloves, and a few other surprises. I also use recycled wood and cardboard with as little plastic as possible to make the packaging environmentally friendly.
