Elena Passarello > Quotes

“We seem programmed to work for a future which doesn’t concern us exactly, but that rather involves something that resembles us. We all walk through the woods, our bodies rushing at the atomic level toward the idea that something is next.”
― Elena Passarello, Animals Strike Curious Poses

“As if every animal a human brain has ever seen, it has swallowed. We find their outlines, as if on Ouija boards, in mountains and in clouds. We scratch the arcs of their trunks in the dirt with our feet, or use the sharpest tools available to dig them from shocks of wood. Give us a stick and we’ll draw them. Find a discarded antler on the steppe and we’ll locate them in its tines. Hit a rock on a cave wall until it yields one. Spread them out across the night sky and we’ll point upward. See how they twinkle as they move?”
