Amichai Yéhuda, Take me to the Airport, יהודה עמיחי

לווי אותי לנמל תעופה.
אני לא עף, אני לא הולך, אני לא עוזב.
אבל, לווי אותי אל מטוס לבן
בין ערפילי עצי זיתים,

אמרי מילים שמחליפות עונות
בחיפזון קצר של שעת פרידה.

אז הידיים באות אל
העינים הבוכות כמו אל
שוקת לשתות ולשתות.

Your only rights

Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Mr Peanut

Try to understand what they want? What do they want? …They don’t know at all! The radicals? The monarchy? The return to “the way it was”? Socialism? Fourierism?Electoral civil war? Alexandre Dumas as dictator?The Mascuraud committee?Léon Blum? Reynaud? The Jesuits? The proportional electoral system? The lotteries? The Great Moghul? What do they want? They have no idea …They have mucked up, rotted, puked up everything through and through, everything that they touch will be the same, vomit, excrement, in two days. They want to remain old horses, unkempt, paddlers, drunkards, that’s all. They don’t have any other plan. They want to make claims everywhere,totally and on everything, and then that’s more than one can bear. A country is destroyed with “rights”, with supreme rights, with rights to nothing, with rights to everything, with rights of the jealous, with rights of famine, of storms. Between us!

Louis-Ferdinand Céline’s A Fine Mess – Les Beaux Draps

The Pure Eye

Herbert Bayer, The Eye

Although the world is matter, the impression we have of ourselves is watery. In the dark aquarium filled with dark water, we do not know the fishes that live in our depths. sometimes the tenant opens a new window, a door that he does not usually open and the water enters, penetrates and floods us. This what gives the impression that between the physicality of the world and the perception we have of ourselves exists a gap that nothing can fill.

The heart is ablaze when the retina is only sensitivity, expressing immediately and despite itself, the slightest material contact or the most insignificant local congestion or intoxication. when the heart is emotion and responds only to affects, the retina is instinct and responds only to light. place of passage, zone of transmission of the slightest signal, the retina is the source of the optical nerve, this long river which carries the flow of images to the visual cortex, mouth giving access to pure consciousness, this unfathomable ocean, where questions rarely find their answers and where the images collapse, powerless to illuminate the abyss that we are.

The sky for eternal home

ASK 21

My interests were spreading, isolating, cutting, expanding, eliminating, going out, mislead, breaking the bond but now it’s about growing and raising freely, exposed to time, to the weather, to the sky without being succubus of the contingent. The contingent passes, the eternal home.

In case you were wondering how does a wing spar root look like.

The art of deformed men

David Altmejd, Ferdydurke, Witold Gombrowicz

 

“The invasion of science promises a very bright future for art. In it we will see our only friend and defender. It will end up being our only ID card.
Indeed! Imagine: when waking up one morning you will notice that by certain bio-physiological processes a second head has pushed behind you during the night, when frightened by this vision, you will lose your mind and you will no longer know which of these two heads is the real head, what can you do other than shout your horror, your revolt, your refusal, your despair… to cry out that you do not agree! This cry will find its poet … and testify that you have remained who you were yesterday.
As for me, I await the world of tomorrow, the scientific world, the confirmation of what Ferdydurke proclaims, on the distance from the form, on the non-identification with the form. The art of tomorrow will rise under this sign: the art of deformed men. They will consciously create a form for themselves (not even on the physical plane). But they won’t identify with it.”

Witold Gombrowicz

Alaska, terror

The only terrifying things in the world are petrified, calcified, rigid, and dying forms.
