"Lapse" is the space of doubt and the time in which the boundaries between the interior and exterior of the body get mixed up. A dreamlike plunge into reality lets us pierce the body and reach the deepest layers, where intimacy and sharing leave the viscera exposed and the barriers on the surface.
​
I got beans instead of teeth
I poured the blood into a bottle
I dressed my tongue to wash the dishes
I traded a kidney for a soap
I offered the nipple to Sant'Agata.
I lost the fur curtains that close the room.
