After this premise, life becomes fluid. Fluid like the water of a river. The only thing that keeps us stable is time. Time is the only measure within this flow, and depending on the temporality we face or in which we find ourselves, we will see the fluid, the stable or the immobile. | After this premise, life becomes fluid.

Fluidity here means that there is a non barrier between the physical and the non-existent where the body expands, where the body is no longer matter but molecule, but point of light.

Beings become intangible, because things have no longer limits, they are not delimited by consciousness but arise and are created, and therefore bodies are constant expansive. They are rhizome. | ||
Energy is therefore shared, matter is shared, everything is part of the same process that creates and destroys itself, a chaotic and enigmatic process that we cannot control. A constant explosion of life, with a constant and sincere rhythm, like an organic machine stretching its arms until it reaches death. That is the Physarum Polycephalum | Energy is therefore shared, matter is shared, everything is part of the same process that creates and destroys itself, a chaotic and enigmatic process that we cannot control. A constant explosion of life, with a constant and sincere rhythm, like an organic machine stretching its arms until it reaches death. That is the Physarum Polycephalum, an example of the expansion of life until its forces are exhausted. | ||
For example, trees are in constant change, growing every second but with a different temporality that makes us not perceive this growth. For them we are flow, if the tree had eyes it would see a continuous distorted beam, just as we see the flow of water or the stars. | For example, trees are in constant change, growing every second but with a different temporality that makes us not perceive this growth.

Capture the movement of the Physarum Polycephalum, place myself in its very perception of time. Stop time, my time, my rhythm and put myself in its place, for a while to feel its presence as my own, to stop in order to yield consciousness to another being. | |||
[[File:Recording of different samples of Physarum Polycephalum seen through a magnifying glass and microscope..png|thumb|548x548px]]With translucent paper I would guide my pen where the Physarum Polycephalum has passed, so many times as to register the constant movement. At the end of one drawing, I would start another one immediately, and so on until I had exhausted all my strength. It would give rise to an installation between the performative, the register, the archive and the biological. The walls of the space would be covered with these drawings and registers. | [[File:Recording of different samples of Physarum Polycephalum seen through a magnifying glass and microscope..png|thumb|548x548px]]With translucent paper I would guide my pen where the Physarum Polycephalum has passed, so many times as to register the constant movement.
