Identity (Philosophical concept)
Summary: 

You cannot eat illusion, but you can nourish yourself on it.

As children of this era we are fed up with having to constantly justify our existence. We have learnt to speak in the way the rest want to listen.
When trying to find the origin, we cannot help feeling that irretrievable sense of not being able to know the stories preceding us. We are bodies made from other bodies that have joined together innumerable times since the beginning of time.
Our story is also one of those lives that were here before us and existed long before the stories. What is modern about our identity when we truly reach awareness of what our story is? We are not modern, we are much older. We realise everything is millions of years old, and we notice that the world is reborn with us, because before us nothing existed and yet we knew who we were before we were born.
Human experiences and man’s most relevant questions, those which have not changed since the beginning of time, serve as poetic manna for this project according to its creators, Led Silhouette (Martxel Rodriguez & Jon López). As they state, it is a place of construction or dismantling, an allegory to the society in which we live, where these characters, who bear heavy loads and have a journey to undertake, likewise a desire to overcome the setbacks separating them from happiness, come together to tell a new story. For, although you cannot eat illusion, you can nourish yourself on it. It is a place that never gives them anything from everything they desire. And because of that lack and that desire for the infinite, they find themselves forced to look for a crack and open up the niche.
