Para vivir un gran amor [To live a great love]

This work takes part of a series based on the emotional memory. In the case of “Para vivir un gran amor, the sculpture is a small house table, for one or two people, which one of its legs has been replaced by a book, like a hyperbole of those little papers that we put under the tables to make them more stable. /It was impossible for me to read the book that he gave me on the same day that he left me. It was impossible to throw it away because its title hid some kind of spell that I don’t know: “para viver um grande amor”. If I had read it, perhaps I wouldn’t have liked it, but I kept it in my library for all these years, and sometimes I’d take it from the shelf to see it, because it’s a very pretty object. I don’t know if I could have learnt to love from a book, but I prefer it that way, helping for something else. A prothesis with a memory, it’s not eternal, but for now, it holds (us).
