The Narrative of the Hyperreal Paradise

The direct confrontation of our daily horrors leads to a different and in a way simplified or purified ideal of paradise.

The Story told by the architect in the eyes of the experiencer

The Kidnap: This is the moment of sudden abduction; the rapidity of it generates confusion and does not allow a progressive adaptation to the space. Disorientation is enforced by the fact that there is a black bag covering your face and separating you from your daily routine and from your real problems.

The Solitude: You are left inside a dark room, however you can see a light shining at the end of this dark space. Intuitively you walk towards it, curiosity leads you.

The First encounter with the Hyper-Normality: After darkness a sudden domestic lightness contracts your pupils rapidly. When you are able to perceive, analyze and judge the space you are surrounded by, a weird sense of normality, of generic domestic/community life becomes peculiar and at some level bizare. This social environment is disrupted by the simple fact of its correct and ultra-polished seemingly-mundane scenarios . This is the moment when you start questioning what you see and stop questioning where you are.

The Horror: The more you walk, the more you experience bizarre and now humanly intolerable acts. The situations taking part become more socially unacceptable, until they reach the point of unbearableness.You are separated from the play by a simple wall; you are not taking part on the intensity of the actions going on. You observe it, the “screen” separates you from it, however this time the story is not being told by anyone, you are directly experiencing what you have read or being told before; this will change your perception of what this thing is forever. In a subconscious way the more you see, the more you want to see, however before you can get used to the intensity and the violence of the situation, you reach the ignorance or acceptation room.

The Acceptance: After experiencing the horrors and pains of community life in this way, you are enclosed in a dark Vietnam – FARC – Al-Qaeda kidnap jail, where the acceptation or ignorance of everything seen before takes place. Fear is ignored or accepted, passion is erased, ethics are re-evaluated…

The Paradise: When the acceptance is achieved your mind will be free of all judgments’, of all prejudices; the horror will be embraced. When that is done, the ideal paradise will be reached by simply getting somewhere better than the place you where before. Like people that have experienced war directly, their ideal of happiness is re built by large doses of its extreme opposite.
