To Infinity by Joan Josep Barcelo

 



                                                                         To Infinity

 

 

If bodies mate along the way,

 

Red symbolizes the bloodshed for freedom,

 

If phones are crossed to arrange a meeting,

 

Then black symbolizes mystery,

 

If something emerges orthogonally from a membrane,

 

The link may be apparently clogged,

 

If the mouth of caves opens in the centre of a wall,

 

That intersects to infinity,

 

A lion should be your mate,

 

If you have to read a tricky puzzle,

 

Try to find out if it is made,

 

Of polyethylene - polypropylene - polystyrene or polyvinyl chloride,

 

What is observed at the nanoscale?

 

When pouring liquid water on sodium polyacrylate?

 

What happens?

 

 


The book Description 

 

This "The Crystal Woman" is a hymn to the freedom and strength of women, a work that has the depth of the abyss and the sweetness of the clouds; the woman of Barceló is present in all her fragility which is actually her strength, in all her beauty, tenderness, ability to love and welcome, refracting light like crystal; carnal, sensual and spiritual at the same time: the one that is part of each of us. (From the Preface by Isabella Sordi)

Biography 

 

Joan Josep Barceló i Bauçà (Palma de Mallorca - Spain, 1953). He studied literature and science at the Universities of Barcelona, the Balearic Islands, Madrid and London. In his career he has explored various fields of culture, including literature, thought and the arts. He is the author of numerous books of poetry in Catalan, Italian and English, having received important international awards and recognitions in his literary career. His poems have been translated into French, English, German, Portuguese, Greek, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Albanian, Norwegian, Arabic, Persian and more. He develops a style characterized by surrealism and abstraction, with references to a dreamlike and mythical, spiritual and carnal world, in search of a revolutionary concept that delves into philosophical and scientific criteria. Light and darkness dominate the language until desire is the spark of fire seeking the infinite, a language that goes beyond existence in a suicide of the word itself, so that poetry takes the force of time and becomes fury of blood. 

His poetry connects with visual art and performance, showing new concepts and styles of understanding literature, proposing us to enter a world that unites social and scientific sciences into a single verbal and artistic body. Proposing to enter a world that unites social and scientific sciences in a single verbal and artistic body, having carried out numerous artistic-poetic performances in collaboration with the Italian artist Filippo Papa in various European cities. In the field of thought and research, he introduces us to new concepts of the relationship between philosophy, literature and art throughout history and how to face the present and the future, analyzing the evolution of man through the centuries and how the entry into a new world technological means that many concepts must be revised in the face of the current paradigm shift.

 In addition to the literary world, as a plastic and visual artist, he develops his works through the use of innovative materials in plastic art, where his pictorial works and sculptures show a connection between natural and synthetic materials, with the creation of pieces framed in contemporary art. Wanting to transmit the force of nature and the soul in a particular way that is characteristic of his style. In the field of art he has exhibited in numerous international exhibitions, both individually and collectively, in Italy, Spain, Austria, Hungary, Korea, Turkey, Nigeria, etc., where poetry and art always blend. We are faced with a multifaceted artist-poet who understands the world around him as an indivisible whole that must be a guide for today's man to enter the future.
