All artists in Pilosus Nuces Orbis have submitted dreams to the project. the gold sparkles, its brilliance is blinding I close my eyes for a moment when I open them, I’m in a dark, damp cave I am covered in a thick layer of dirt I look down and see a large hole in the ground in it, a doll’s wooden hand and a foot, as large as my leg these belong to a giant, sleeping in a cave I see a two-headed woman the identical heads are stacked; one is crying I see a beautiful woman dancing she has a trachea and esophagus I begin my descent into a room with high ceilings I hear a gurgling sound a fish jumps out of the water there’s an old man fishing and a young woman with a sword fish in her hand she is the only human being on the planet I can’t see any plants, but I can feel their presence I play with a cat the size of a tiger I bend down and pick some flowers the flowers are made of skin I sit on the ground with pink yarn too long to roll up into a ball I suck on it and throw it out of my mouth repeatedly I look around and notice the walls of the cavernous room the old man speaks and says: “I am the Fish God” “I am the oldest man on Earth” a sound accompanies the transformation of the yarn into a large white worm with a glossy back the worm is eating the face of the dancing woman the room fills with the terrible smell of dead fish in my hands, is a chain of blackened, dead flowers All images courtesy of the artists
