They get inside the vortex that attracts them like in the garden of Eden. They find the forbidden fruit, they want it at any cost and there is no way out. A desired need beyond their dream. The dream of two lives beyond the chat... Esmeralda and Paolo are the protagonists in the carousel of a virtual world. Online connection is an essential vital call. They receive texts messages and they feel attracted; an incomprehensible need that binds them with a double slip knot. They steal a glance at their profiles, they’re shaped by their thoughts, their emotions; they provoke one another on the web, in the silence of the chat. A force of gravity that carries them away beyond any awareness. It’s a whim that gets into their minds, a vortex where they find their forbidden fruit: the web. An online call, a necessity of life. Esmeralda and Paolo play and enjoy their virtual connection. A vagabond chat that attracts them. Thus, they fill doubts, empty spaces and the insecurities of their past. It’s an odd thing, but they can’t give up to those silent messages that beautify their life. The virtual experience becomes their fairytale and now they want to embra embrace. Embrace it... Embrace it...

W. G. Sebald meets Maggie Nelson in an autobiographical narrative of embodiment, visual art, history, and loss. How do the bodies we inhabit affect our relationship with art? How does art affect our relationship to our bodies? T Fleischmann uses Felix Gonzáles-Torres’s artworks—piles of candy, stacks of paper, puzzles—as a path through questions of love and loss, violence and rejuvenation, gender and sexuality. From the back porches of Buffalo, to the galleries of New York and L.A., to farmhouses of rural Tennessee, the artworks act as still points, sites for reflection situated in lived experience. Fleischmann combines serious engagement with warmth and clarity of prose, reveling in the experiences and pleasures of art and the body, identity and community.
