A Very Straight Neck

A woman wakes up from a bad dream to hear her daughter playing joyfully in the other room. Her neck is stiff, so she is forced to move her head slowly and carefully. What starts in the body grows in the mind, and what starts in the mind soon moves to the body. In A VERY STRAIGHT NECK, Neo Sora arranges the world like a spinal column: pain in one section radiates to the whole and alters perception completely. A new point of view born of difficulty and clumsiness develops, one that permits an odd kind of beauty to be perceived and the loving attention of strangers to be received. (Lucía Salas)
