The work explores the tendency of modern human to put in order the amount of anarchic information we receive every day and to make some sense out of it. The human body is increasingly involved in incoherent patterns, ie the incoherence of physical and verbal behavior, emotions and actions, society and the environment. Are we heading on to a mutated function of the human body? The work is in progress and tries to comment with humor on the social and individual ‘schizophrenia’ of the time. Different lists were chosen to cover and symbolize our socio-political and cultural life as well as our relationship with nature. The apparent irrelevance of words creates a wave of paradoxical, ironic and poetic reality. The work ends with a close processing of the sounds made by the human body when expressed verbally reminiscent of jungle sounds.
