ABSTRACT
The chimera is an impossible desire or a desire that if realized is accompanied by misfortune. The chimera has a central role in mythopoiesis because it lends itself easily to depictions of the demiurgic abortion, the attempt to replace the divine, the blasphemous fruit that threatens human integrity. Immateriality is a good soil for the growth of our chimera, especially if the resulting food is enriched with dreams of grafts, with symbiotic performances, with fragments of obsolete realities. A monstrous fantastical animal, the Chimera is composed of the parts of three different animals: the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and finally the tail of a serpent. The transformation of the human, far from self-referential processes, follows the dynamics of the production of chimeras. Designed reality permeates our everyday lives and profoundly transforms us such that the chimera, in the final analysis, is us.
