… At the  zoo, we look at a lion in a cage. We take out the lion and put Picasso’s Gernika in its place. We are looking at Picasso’s Guernica inside a cage. We take out the cage and the zoo and put in its place a desert. We are looking at Picasso’s Guernica in the  desert. We take out the Gernika and put in its place a museum. Now, we’re looking at a museum in a desert. We take out the desert and put Amy Winehouse. We see Amy Winehouse entering the rooms in the museum. We take out the museum and put in its place a microphone with a bar in the background. We are then looking at Amy Winehouse in front of a microphone with a bar in the background. We take out Amy Winehouse and put Fidel Castro talking incessantly in Spanish. That means we’re watching Fidel Castro talking in front of a microphone in front of a bar. We take out the bar and put the White House. We see Fidel Castro talking into a microphone in front of the White House. We take out Fidel Castro and the White House and put a cemetery in front of the actual president of the United States. We are looking at Donald Trump speaking into a microphone in Spanish in front of a graveyard. Immediately we take out his voice and he stays there, gesturing  without a sound before the microphone. Then, we take out Donald Trump and the cemetery and put someone, anyone, in its place and an empty pavilion lit with fluorescent lamps. We put a cocktail of divergent thoughts in that person’s mind and we take out the microphone and the pavilion. What remains is a gesticulating body, full of divergent thoughts, floating somewhere ….
