─The monstrosity of the shaman
It is a look between those who have the power of knowledge, and
those who will experience obedience. A rite that is recorded on the
walls, it will become stimulating for the group of beasts that hunt the
hominids, it is a violent and dazzling book on the walls, with that
touch of blood that to this day, is still present in all artistic
manifestations. Shamans, regardless of their gender or sexuality, came
to designate an entity, even without adjective words such as "moral"
and "intellectual", and became, without further ado, the basis of our
"culture", that is, this abstraction will continue to be used as an
aesthetic language.
