Sergio Mora
December 1-31, 2006


Sergio Mora claims to be a fried egg.  Personally, I have always considered him to be an onion.  He likes, in following order: painting, Chinese girls, Mexico and shops that sell everything for I euro. Although he never admitted it publicly, he really wants to be an icon.  Like Bowie or Elvis.  Sergio
was a fat child who hid behind a paintbrush.  He never fought with anybody because he didn’t know how.  Mora was among other things, a shy, moody drummer with a group Fromheadtotoe, and a restorer of churches…

One day, he decided to laugh.  He got a haircut, left his drum-kit and his restorer’s scaffold and changed into an onion.  How?  Everything started in 1999 when, as a navigator of inner space, be began his exploration of Ultamor.  Coinciding with the end of the millennium, Sergio Mora tried different mutations:  El Charro Chingador, Professor Pez, el Dios de Juguete, Gordico, El Maestro Purpureo, El Imparable Transeunte, Chino Chano and MorAmor. Of all of these, the last one was the only mutation that really manifested.  MorAmor, who searches for the redeeming power of pain, who sprouts like tree and swells like a bulb.  But Sergio discovered that pain wasn’t the way and, a little scorched, continued his journey.  A little later, SuperMora appeared and tried to change the world with the Ultramora Foundation.  Over a year, he played all is cards in order to build a nice paper castle. But the castle was besieged by la Lo-cura and Sergio ran away, changing himself Into Mister Nobody.  Mister Nobody, who doesn’t exist, told Sergio something very important: being an egg is not compatible with divinity.  Once he learned this lesson, Sergio became tired of being nobody and after day thank you to Mister Nobody, continued on his way.  Sergio moved into a wicker-basket and surprised some rabbits.  He had recognized the signs an, here, he prepared for the ultimate metamorphosis.

Magicomora, who distils everyday magic, germinated in the fallow pasture left by mister Nobody.  From his own hand, Sergio paints magic-cures that escape from the innermost layer of the onion,
the layer closestto the heart.
