The power of suggestion can truly unsettle us when it comes to fear and terror. The nervous system determines reality, controls the functions of the body and is based on chemical compounds, and language also determines reality. According to some psychologists, exposure to violent and negative news can have severe and lasting psychological effects, beyond simple pessimistic feelings. This photobook questions how terror works as a distraction from the void. Religions have used this human need by preaching an imminent punishment, and people react instinctively to that message. It also uses the reference to the parasites of insects in nature, which live off their hosts, feeding on them and using chemicals to regulate their physical and mental functions.
