In the company people talk about cocoa, and while they talk about it, they touch it, work it, get dirty, taste it. The human voice merges with that of mechanical machines, at their repetitive and hypnotic rhythms. Everything assumes the time of a ritual dimension, where at its center there is an ancient and legendary matter, made of sun and dust. The hands touch it, work it, transform it, making it oscillate continuously between material and food, work and reward, mud and chocolate.
In the work, like an apparition, everything floats in space. The words fly, they split the environment, following the shapes of an invisible machine that drags them on a ribbon of tulle that becomes conveyor belt. They are the stories of those who live the company every day, of those who built it, of those who imagined it. Black words, such as ink and more intense cocoa, made matter by the 3D sign of that tool that reinvents the tradition of drawing, making physical what was not before. A daydream, still, made of cocoa, carefully generated and destined to slip away.
