English: They have come from the gym to protect the landlords’ map. Where we used to sleep there are the most bizarre archaeologists, and behind them, the champions of recreational sailing. We have drawn a circle of lit cigarettes and molotov cocktails made out of poppers bottles. They send out purple and red lights, so sharp that they are more real than the regime of the streets and that they invert the predominance of matter over shadows. In the middle a body that represents us: its legs stumbling because they are stiff for the dance that has been imposed on them; its eyes equivalent to some food that tastes of nothing, but which ends up haunting you and making you nauseous; its smile typical of someone who is being tortured and who causes an incredibly painful explosion in their own chest to finish their executioner off. This will be our presence in the city. This will be our welcome. Català: Han vingut des del gimnàs a protegir el mapa dels rendistes. Allà on dormíem hi ha els arqueòlegs més estrafolaris, i darrere d’ells, els campions de la nàutica recreativa. Nosaltres hem traçat un cercle de cigarretes enceses i de molotovs fets amb ampolles de popper. Emeten llums vermelles i liles, tan nítides que tenen més realitat que el règim dels carrers i que inverteixen el predomini de la matèria sobre l’ombra. Al centre un cos que ens representa: les cames entrebancades perquè són rígides per al ball que els imposen; els ulls equivalents a un menjar que no té gust, però que al final et persegueix i et causa nàusees; el somriure propi d’algú que és torturat i que es provoca una explosió increïblement dolorosa al tors per a liquidar el botxí. Aquesta serà la nostra presència a la ciutat. Aquesta serà la nostra benvinguda.

English: Changing shape is so easy. In any moment you could find yourself transformed into disfigured lichens or come to adopt a posture that imparts justice with all the weight of your left foot. I want to establish a laboratory to master this process. I will absorb the qualities of a thousand insects: armoured, green, flying, purple. And every time that they intend to tie our bones to the statues of the regime I will celebrate a metamorphosis in temples that will take up as much space as possible. Català: Que fàcil és canviar de forma. En qualsevol moment pots quedar convertida en líquens desfigurats o arribar a una postura que imparteix justícia amb tot el pes del peu esquerre. Vull muntar un laboratori per a dominar aquest procés. Absorbiré les qualitats de mil insectes: cuirassats, verds, voladors, violetes. I cada cop que ens vulguin lligar els ossos a les estàtues del règim celebraré una metamorfosi en temples que ocuparan tot l’espai possible.

English: Just outside the city centre there is a temple so old that nobody knows what it is devoted to. Everybody has an opinion on its nature and the best occasions to go there. We have taken it as a model and have developed methods to turn into voids the heart of any new monuments, of the neighbourhoods that hang from them, and of the corpses that we will find under them. Català: Just a fora del centre hi ha un temple tan antic que ningú sap a què està dedicat. Tothom té opinions sobre el seu caràcter i les millors ocasions per a anar-hi. L’hem pres de model i hem desenvolupat mètodes per a convertir en llacunes el fons dels monuments nous, dels barris que se’n despengen, i dels cadàvers que hi trobarem a sota.

English: I will hide in the exact centre of the waters of terror and I will conspire with a comrade while we swim under the vaults that support the headquarters of the corrupt. Or I will take a trip to a forest in the outskirts, to nourish the plants in a room made of flowers that we built in honour of a friendship. I will also pull my knickers down and get penetrated by tentacles akin to poisonous plants, in memory of all the changes in shape that we have undergone and will undergo. I will go up to our dead ones’ favourite rooftop to study by their side and load my rifle with the bullets that they recommend. How many segments does the world have? Even in this neighbourhood there must be someone cooking with masks of the colour of panic on, or playing melodies for the foxes in the park. Català: M’amagaré al centre exacte de les aigües del terror i hi conspiraré amb una companya mentre nedem sota les voltes que aguanten la seu dels corruptes. O faré un viatge a un bosc dels afores, per a alimentar les plantes d’una habitació de flors que vam construir en honor a una amistat. També m’abaixaré les calces i em faré penetrar per tentacles semblants a plantes verinoses, en record dels canvis de forma que hem passat i passarem. Pujaré al terrat favorit dels nostres morts per a estudiar al seu costat i carregar el fusell amb les bales que em recomanin. Quants més segments deu tenir el món? Fins i tot en aquest barri hi deu haver gent cuinant amb màscares del color del pànic, o tocant melodies per a les guineus del parc.
