Cow Love
The rules of the game were simple: embrace every idea, however small, as material to build upon.
Step into an absurd little corner where high-fashion sportswear,
the tangy taste of milk,
songs that will never become hits,
plastic flowers,
and the caprices of love coexist.
A childlike play of painful schizophrenia,
the passionate side of our most beautiful obsessions:
"chronic foolishness, the delight of imperfection."
A circus of the cynical lover,
a dance of plastic minimalism.
The idea for this performance was born by chance in July 2012, in a small garage in Argentina.
It was an attempt at spontaneous, experimental creation following a less-than-optimistic diagnosis: a dislocated shoulder and meniscus surgery.
