Text is the linear continuity of Time. Image is the linear circularity of Time. (Time puts things in order.) Needless to say, one necessarily sees past reality. In the beginning there might have been the Word; in the end there is only an image. Reality is a linguistic contrivance. One retains (takes) an ‘impression’ of…

The originary is the origin. There is nothing beyond the origin. Place yourself at a desk facing an open window. Put blank paper in front of you and take hold of a pencil.

The number zero is the only true invention. The human, the inventor of the number zero, happens to be a creature (but is not necessarily the sole creature) that can understand the concept of the number zero and its most direct offspring: the ratio scale. With the advent of this remarkable invention, everything could be…

‘The photographic’ is the nothing. ‘The photographic’ is a metaphor. ‘The photographic’ is a metaphor for our love just as it is also a metaphor for the greenness of the trees. All ‘the photographic’ can teach us is that that’s how it is. Together we reached the door to the origin and now we must…
