Talking about foot bathing with friends, we came to the conclusion that this strictly feminine practice of laying one’s feet into saltwater, comes from mermaids. Feet - the human equivalent of the fish’s tail - must reconcile with their original environment: saltwater, indeed. Definitely odd, this theory was useful to me over time, to explain a series of phenomena that, otherwise, would have just appeared alien - inscrutable.
Loren, Gaia, Giulia, Sabrina and foot bathing are the example of how, through daily practices, one can have access to a recondite past and pass it on, how this process is driven by the necessity of founding a personal cosmology, a personal lineage that doesn’t have much to do with actual genealogy.
LGG$B are the daughters of the Kahina, of Tori Amos and Tony Montana.
Writing becomes constant, continuous (it isn’t reduced to the mere act of writing), it is a process in which all their work is involved, because this way, they tend to the construction of a parallel dimension. This world in miniature, this network of affections, fits in their backpacks, in their bedrooms and even in an exhibition. 🔮 LISTEN TO YOUR LOCAL PROPHETESSES 🔮
