Ontological-Hysteric Manifesto II
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 December 2021
Extract
One always begins with the desire to write a certain kind of sentence (to put on stage a certain “kind” of gesture. That “kind” then turns out to be about that-which-becomes-your-content).
The key, however, is in this sentence (gesture) cell. Most people don't see the cell, are perceptually unable to see small enough (ephemeralization). Because their LIFE training is that to “see small” means to enter the realm where contradictions are seen to be at the root of reality—and that disturbing realization they would avoid at all costs.
The desire to write a certain kind of sentence (gesture) is akin to the desire to live—be—have the world be in a certain kind of way. (Art as a solution to what is—Musil. Through style, through smallest possible units. Bricks determine one style of architecture, stone another, etc.)
