Description

+silkscreen print, 1998. original limited-edition prints available.

"... it looks like a rat but isn't, it looks like a bird but is no bird, cries like a baby but is no baby, it has feathers and is no bird (... is) the colocolo. It's born from an empty chicken's egg. When you abandon an egg like that without braking it to bits, there comes a snake, takes it and hatches it. When it's born, it nurses it and teaches it to suck the saliva from the folks that sleep with their mouths open."

Chilean Folklore. From the short story "El Colocolo", by Manuel Rojas (Chile)+
