Proyecto propuesto por Pablo Alonso para la asignatura de Dirección de Arte.

A pesar de que espero que no se note (o no haya) el típico acentillo (insoportable) español cuando hablamos inglés, espero que a los angloparlantes no les sangren los oídos por oírme.

Special thanks to:

The Blackout

Darkness does not worry me. Light does. Darkness is merely the absence of light. But absence does worry me. Worry doesn't. It's indifferent to me. However, indifference really worries me. I find it a shameful attitude. Shame does not worry me though. It did, before. Now I don't mind before and after; my life is not a development tending toward anything. That's why anything keeps me awake.
Sleeping, however, is something I mind. Sometimes I stay awake all night thinking about it. I don't reach any conclusion but conclusions exasperate me. I prefer starting points. Not because of the starts, but the points. I always try to collect points. Not because of the points per se, but collection. Collection understood as one single thing, not as a heap of things. I would break up heaps if I could.
Things have to be separated, not together. Things together form other things, and that brings complications. But I'm not afraid of complications. I'm afraid of simpleness. You never know where simpleness comes from, that's where the mystery is. Luckily, I'm not interested in mysteries nevertheless. I'm interested in luck. What a misfortune! Because luck is always short. If I said that I'm not interested in shortage, I'd be lying. But I'm not worried about lying, everybody lies. I'm worried about the truth.
When I lie, I don't have any problem; I can say anything. Even if it's true, it doesn't matter because I'm lying. But when I'm speaking the truth, I have to be more careful. In those cases, I try to say as little as possible because of doubts. And afterward, I take back what I said; thus I can cover two possibilities. But it's not that I want to cover myself. I do everything out in the open. And if there is no moon, much better. I like darkness. Darkness does not worry me. Light does. Darkness is merely the absence of light. But absence does worry me. Worry doesn't. It's indifferent to me.
