"to live solely in reality? who could endure that in the long run?"

"Long ago, in childhood, when Summer reverberates and feels and throbs all over, it begins to circumscribe my body along with my self, and my body gives it shape in turn: the 'joy' of living, of experiencing, of already foreseeing dismembers it, this entire body explodes, neurons rush toward what attracts them, zones of sensation break off almost in blocks that come to rest at the four corners of the landscape, at the four corners of Creation."

--Pierre Guyotat, Coma

(Institute for Unstable Media, Rotterdam; 1980s)

 "COLORS HAVE SUCH SYMMETRY/I LIKE COCAINE, ACTING, AND YOGA"

"Wrong Test," Riccardo Previdi:

"Conceived as a work halfway between an artist’s book and an exhibition catalogue, Wrong Test by Riccardo Previdi presents the newest works from the series Tests that the artist started to work on three years ago. Previdi culls his test patterns mostly from the internet. He started out using test patterns created to calibrate printers, to verify the color accuracy of digital cameras, or in conjunction with medical testing. Previdi prints the images on standard A4-sized paper, crumples them up, photographs them and then reprints them, often in enlargement, following this process of apparent destruction."

A philosophy of ruins. beautiful. Alexandre Astruc wrote the text: "His role in the auteur theory is his notion of the caméra-stylo or "camera-pen" and the idea that a director should wield a camera like a writer uses his pen and that he need not be hindered by traditional storytelling."

Fuck yes.
