Anticipation
José Luís Peixoto and Andrés Duque
When we anticipate what is to come, we seem to be living the future in the present. We are here and, at the same time, we are anticipating what will happen tomorrow: we calculate, we predict, we imagine possibilities. This is a kabbalah that is full of imperfections and yet inevitable. As long as we live, beyond the world that lies before our eyes, we will bear with us the world we await.
