Vídeo Clube (Video Store)

Modern adults walk, between the underarm, training leopards like caterpillars. Exhaling sweat and perfume in the same suit. A community with absence of poetry in their vital organs. Sitting under the sun as a beach chair in fresh water, sometimes near home, certainly launching suspicion, a cerebral anonymity, I wonder if the image should have words. The question, the discomfort of the standard citizen, by the intrigue in the place of the knowledge. Being images without the human figure, at least clearly, the verses assume the function of humanizing them, like static film frames, without actors, with the message being passed by the scenario. There is nostalgy: in the architecture, in the decay. I called it "vídeo clube" ("video store").
