Leni, the titan & Tokio 2021 Painting

“Hermes - You yourself with such bravado came to anchor your misfortunes. Prometheus - You must know that I would not change my destiny for your role as a slave ”. Prometheus in chains. Aeschylus "After the leap into the void, the dead man has become a thinking-body that perceives everything around him, but knows that ordinary mortals cannot see him." On “Enter the void”, 2009 by Gaspar Noé. "The idea of ​​the inheritance of classical culture that would have passed to Germany through the torch we owe to Olympia." Rosa Sala Rose I remember many, many years ago I saw a Walt Disney documentary film (Walt Disney Productions, 1958) in which one scene in question fascinated and terrified me in equal measure. In it, wild rodents called lemmings, which enjoy great fertility that produce frequent demographic explosions, were thrown in droves off a cliff. It was recorded with a very careful, epic aesthetic. This mass suicide was supposed to be part of nature's self-regulating mechanism to cope with overpopulation. In 1982 this narrative was questioned by denouncing for animal abuse that the documentary makers themselves were the ones who induced the lemmings to jump. Years later, in my university days, I saw Leni Riefensthal's Olympia and the final part of the documentary, where the director recreates herself with trampoline jumps, I couldn't help but remember the suicidal lemmings and wonder how much lemmings the alienated Germans would have from the 30s. Very recently I remembered jumping rodents again. It was watching television. In the same afternoon I saw an informative report on the health crisis and vaccinations; and on the other, the opening ceremony of the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games.
