Installation composed of text, prophecy production cards, boxes of promise verses and clothesline. The work questions how, with technological and technical advances, we have lost the ability to produce imaginative and prophetic scenarios about the future of the city.
The assembly is thought as reading object, with the text We forgot Nostradamus and as a writing object, from the use of the Machine of prophecies, a box with promise papers/verses with the order PROPHESIZE on it. It invites participants to to make prophecies about future scenarios of the city from their subjectivity and desire.
