Concept: Exploring what one chew when you chew gum. Many times you create a rhythm when you're thinking, and thoughts are formed. Many times, the bubbles are flashes of ideas which burst. How many emotions are pressed together by your teeth some 500,00 times on a pieces of gum? How many dreams are savored until they're left in anonymity in a rejected sour piece of gum. You pick the flowers, the colors-you seek consistency. You chew with sensuality of the accumulation of emotions. they are recreated by you,with your fingers,warm and mobile.
You create ideas to the rhythm of the movement of your jaw. You mix thoughts along with saliva, anxiety, cholera, happiness. Illusions that you complete by chewing, over and over again that piece of gum, which once old and disposed, will be left behind, on the trail of your thoughts, under the table of your dreams, or simply will be tossed out the window of your emotions.
You dream, creating huge bubbles, sonorous, small.
You fill with happiness that small piece of gum and then...
"WHAT DO YOU CHEW WHEN YOU CHEW THE GUM, WHAT DO YOU GET RID OF WHEN YOU GET RID OF THE GUM"
