the self-absorbed narcissus, absorbed in his hedonistic priesthood, exalted in post-war times; praised and returned to the banner of the rise of compulsive consumerism and the vertiginous rise of the mass media of the 20th century. He discovers himself with horror in the mirror of the digital media, as an empty entity, hungry for certainties, orphaned, helpless and bound in a city of repetitive and fleeting stimuli that confuse him; they don’t think about it, they think about it, and they accept it with the docility of the subdued and trained animal.
narcissus put down the mirror, look around…  
el narciso ensimismado, absorto en su sacerdocio hedonista, encumbrado en tiempos de la posguerra; alabado y vuelto en el estandarte del auge del compulsivo consumismo y del vertiginoso ascenso del mass media del siglo XX. Se descubre con horror en el espejo del digital media, como un ente vacio, hambriento de certezas, huerfano, desamparado y maniatado en una urbe de estimulos repetitivos y fugaces que lo confunden; no se piensa, lo piensan y lo acepta con la docilidad del animal subyugado y amaestrado.
baja el espejo narciso, mira al rededor
