"I DEDICATE
this video involvement and this action
to Fernando Pessoa Almada Negreiros
my country my language
my joy my life
to Jorge Dias Ernesto Veiga de Oliveira António Campos
discovery a probable humanity
to Jorge Luis Borges José Guimarães Rosa
eternity, yes but not as slowly
sua calma sua alma
to Robert Morris Carl Andre Richard Long
Anne and Patrick Poirier Charles Simonds
body rock weight the ruin and its ghost
to Alberto Carneiro Claudio Costa
bread archaeology "in regress"
to Marcel Mauss Lévi-Strauss Michel Foucault
the meaningless or wild speeches
to Julia Kristeva the foreigner
carnival and apocalypse
to Raul Brandão to the megalithic sculptors
of the Alentejo menhirs and
to all those who hope
the stone to bloom
in the Promised Land
