Child | guardian

“Tell everyone you did this for me”

The child projects the interlocutor in a time in the future where her/his action has already been measured and reaped. It forces the individual to take responsibility, which otherwise would remain widespread and impersonal.
The child is the perfect embodiment of Animal Spirits because she/he is able to act and leap in an innate way. For this reason, she/he is also the guardian of Animal Spirits’ imaginary, the one who introduces the narrative space.
The child is indeed the symbolic activator par excellence of the ritual dimension and questions are her/his tool: the child can ask what nobody else can ask and become a mirror.
The child takes the imagine of her/his interlocutor and suspends it, then she/he returns it transformed.
The child is another figure of demon, they are familiar in an innate way.
