VITA
Life in a Zone of Social Abandonment 
- Vita is the end-station on the road of poverty. It is the place where living beings go when they are no longer considered people.
-
Left all by himself, knowing that no one will respond, that nothing will crack open the future.
- Here the most vulnerable are sure to become "unknowables," with no human rights and with no one accountable to them.
- Yet people hold onto something, anything they find in Vita.
- Objects sustaining a search, the possibility of a tie. Inner words kept alive.
- At the limits of human imagination, desire continues against all odds.
- Catarina spent her days in Vita writing her "dictionary." The characters turn and un-turn. This is my world after all.
- Dead alive, dead outside, alive inside.
- How can the anthropological artifact keep the story moving and unfinished?
- Divorce, dictionary Discipline, diagnostics Operation, reality To give an injection To get a spasm In the body A cerebral spasm
- To decipher the real in her life, to reconstruct the worldliness of her words.
- To want my body as medication. Pain broadcasts sick science. To live is expensive. Human body?
- Catarina embodies a condition that is more than her own.
- Of love there is nothing Only emptiness What will become of the world?
- "I am part of the origins, not just of language, but of people...."
Continually adjusting itself to the reality of contemporary lives and worlds,
the anthropological venture has the potential of art: to invoke neglected
human possibilities and to expand the limits of understanding and imagination.
