OPERATES ITS ARTISTIC DEMONSTRATION EXPLORING THREE CONCEPTS, THREE FIELDS THAT DEFINE OUR ACTION MODE AND PHILOSOPHY SINCE 2010. Unity through diversity seen here not as a heterogeneous principle, but rather as a concept bearer of wealth. Thus, the links and dialogues are built beyond a normative and academic categorization to put into view relationships and strong evidences, besides the style or era. The principle relates more to a vision and belief than a more theoretical approach. The resistance through imaginary appeals to and trusts imagination to resist the fashions, standards, expectations, categories and institutions, the weight of things and time. Making the imaginary an intimate way to meet a community of beings close beyond geography but similar in their difference. The value of modernity or action of the modern modernity being different from the contemporary in its way of still being active and creative regardless the time or era. This approach is inherited of the Lumières, which captured the question of modernity as a singular way of staying in its time and exploiting its essence. Therefore, it is for us a way to consider modernity as an attitude rather than a period of history.
