‘Ma
Machine d´Emotions’ is
the story of a man wrestling with how to express his emotions, who then builds
a gigantic, unbelievably complex machine in which he conceals a special emotion
that only she for whom it is intended will be able to discover: a secret
message meant for one particular
person
hidden amidst the organised chaos of 523 different emotions.
The
story centres on a gigantic man figure depicted kneeling on a wooden chair, who
clasps an enormous humming top in his claws, on which the 523 emotions are
classified according to a complex order of prime numbers, categories, colours,
symbols, languages and texts. Detailed pen drawings depict the machine and the
man and the individual emotions and their interconnections.£
The mask, 'Fear is Blue, Fear is 2, Fear is You', is one of the main emotions of the Machine.
