Do fairies have a tail?

Like coagulated air, dissolving and leaving space for everything that is apparently small or distant, invisible and ephemeral. In an endless choreography through precise manifestations, like spells in a thousand pieces. A presence and an absence that breaks down and decomposes like our own perceptions. The question is constant: how to transform, become, disappear, become small, imagine oneself elsewhere, fairy tails?In a process of raising awareness of how we relate to the world and the mirages that populate it, the attempt to rewrite our own mythologies becomes hologram and depth, pierces the backdrop and allows itself to be smelled. What if all this were a portal?What lies beyond the threshold?

This investigation takes the skewed form of a riddle, a forest, a hole and a queue, an abandoned house, its remains and their “vitalism”. The evocation of a secret place, the attempt to create a perceptual experience beyond the human dimension becomes matter. The title itself, like a magic formula, seeks to let those who wish to enter the folds of something mysterious that cannot be known. Perhaps only by sharpening our senses can we glimpse the creatures that hover in our blurred memories.
