GALILEAN BEDROOM


The meeting room, a place for collective time-killing to rest from the office routine, is transformed into a bedroom. The narrative focuses on "the meeting of the meeting" where the main topic is the horoscope.

In this magic place, the invisible woman sleeps upon the stars and the solar system while interpreting and changing the signs of the universe. Her need for a deeper belief in the world is seen in her desire to control destiny. She plays with the horoscope in order to create and control her beliefs and superstitions, a topic highlighted in the long working days inside the office.

The boundaries are blurred between the science of astronomy and the beliefs of astrology, critiquing the hegemony of the scientific code of interpretation, a different code of beliefs. The invisible woman plays the role of both transformer of the universe and interpreter of its signs.
