Playful verses. Random rhymes. Place your bets, gentlemen: poems from Las Vegas. If literature is a game, poetry is a bouncy castle. Slot Poetry is the name of this installation in which Bruno Galindo recharges ten slot machines, which have become in fact the first “literature slot machines”. The texts are his, but they lose all ownership right in the moment that chance and player recombine the words that make an spontaneous construction of sentences.
