Los cuatro puntos cardinales son tres: el sur y el norte
Nos encontramos before* el Atlántico, es decir, antes y frente a 1492;
la codificación, no la fecha. Nos situamos en la encriptación, la codificación, el coeficiente, incluso el algoritmo de la primera gran sincronización mundial. 1492, simultáneo a la medianoche del Reloj del Apocalipsis, y por tanto también de la Trinidad**, es, esta vez, el momento en que un meteorito de olivino e hiperesteno, la Piedra del Trueno de Ensisheim***, atraviesa la atmósfera, just before de que Allende, otro meteorito, éste carbonáceo y más antiguo que el sistema solar, caiga cerca de su Pueblito, en el estado de Chihuahua, México en 1969, just un poco before de que otro Allende, Salvador, o mejor dicho su cuerpo, caiga inerte en la Moneda, en 1973. Allende (el Pueblito) se encuentra a unos 889 km de la zona cero de Trinidad, en Alamogordo, en el desierto de Nuevo México, donde la explosión de la bomba Gadget supuso el año cero de la trinidad, que es también el origen de la sincronización planetaria nuclear.
Los cuatro puntos cardinales son tres: el sur y el norte es un ensayo. Es más una tentativa que un test. Más como unos apuntes que un texto. Se podría decir ensamblaje, collage, composición, configuración, caleidoscopio, yuxtaposición, conjugación, imagen, constelación, cosmovisiones.
También podríamos decir sueño e invitación. Por costumbre, decimos exposición.
