in company of The Extra-Ordinary


Anna Fulmine and Victoria Shahrokh (aka Lightning & Kinglyface)

"... and in the lowest mire of Malebolge I sit between Gilles de Retz and the Marquis de Sade. I dare say it is best so. I have no desire to complain. One of the many lessons that one learns in prison is that things are what they are, and will be what they will be. Nor have I any doubt that the leper of mediævalism, and the author of Justine, will prove better company than Sandford and Merton."

Oscar Wilde, De Profundis
 
 
 
 
hoofdstuk 14, § 3, p. 7
 
Rise as the sun: antlered. . .
bearded with greenery. . .the leaf-vein pulsing  

in your throat. Budded all over with small flame, & motley

with birds in your hair & arms. Rise,  

& put on your foliage!  

 
Extrait de : Ronald Johnson : The Book of the Green Man, 1967. Réédition : Light and Dust 2001.

Дзига Вертов


Советские игрушки 1924




Человек с киноаппаратом 1929




Start
1917
Not like Pathé.
Not like Gaumont.
Not how they see,
Not as they want.
Be Newton
to see
an apple.
Give people eyes
To see a dog
With
Pavlov’s
eye.
Is cinema CINEMA?
We blow up cinema,
For
CINEMA
to be seen.

(Dziga Vertov: The Laboratory of Hearing, 1917)

tittipussidad

averij 
grasderf op de zolen 
van de maatschappij 
netto-spook 
translucent fucking- 
oog dat als een hand dwaalt 
hand met vingertoppogen 
dit naakte gebaar 
kleedt zich nu
