The fear of holes, or rather, of all those small geometric figures that close together create clusters of small cavities. A game of images based on juxtapositions that are repeated three-dimensionally and that causes a sense of disgust and repellence; the alarm is triggered thanks to an intrinsic code, developed over the centuries by our ancestors, which safeguards the phobic from the danger of being infected by parasitic forms or being injured by poisonous animals. Anxiety, anguish, fear, hundreds of names for a single existential dimension: the fear of losing control over the world, over our body, over the other.
