“GLORIA: An Easy and Funny Work” Is the pursuit of glory an existential joke? A dead end from which we can only emerge to return again and again? An infinite loop of pursuit that traps us?
In this piece, we immerse ourselves in the complex question of pursuing a body, a being, a state of Glory, as if we can somehow trap it. Through our attempts to hoard Gloria, we immerse ourselves in the fantasy of being able to reach it, hold it and possess it, as if it were an ephemeral treasure that always slips through our fingers. An endless cycle of aspiration and longing, where glory seems elusive, yet irresistibly seductive.”
