Opis

This is part 3 to the 3 part series of Thoughts/Pesamientos V1 We are surrounded by images in our daily life as never before. In Jasser Membreno's beautiful book, ThoughtS, he relieves our saturation from the dense mundane and lifts us into the heights of human imagination, on a masterful flight to the world of his unique imagery and abstract poetry. It is a journey through his surrealistic narrative without a narrative of fantastical creatures--reawakening our imagination from the over-exposed visual landscape of our bit-filled times to the thrilling recollection of the reality and absurdity of our dream worlds. He reminds us of the vastness of the human mind. Just like the delightful young wayfarer of the story, on entering this universe you will often find yourself in two places at once, and equally as often, in two languages at once. Translated from English into Spanish, laid side by side, Gloria Alvarez has kept the keen sonic sensibility present in Membreno's pointed poetry, at times coy, at times absurd. The ingenuity in text as well as imagery reveals his deft poetic hand. Throughout the sensual pleasure of its strange images and jarring mysterious texts, it asks the same questions we have always asked...the exploration; coming-of-age, existential, whimsical, overwrought...We need it.
