Shadow

Carmina Figurata

Shadow, the oculus through which one looks at the downside of Persona. Dark dimensions of demonic mono-dialogues are suppressed by identity under the influence of anonymous authority (public opinion).

Orphic lines in which the shadow prints its deconstructed sentences, are suggested by the persona’s anatomy. The remains of the area in which the persona left its mark, serves as a canvas on which the shadow draws ideograms of stupidity and wisdom. The savage nature of these ideograms is softened by the subtle poetics of their sincerity. Ideograms, the place of residence of all Baudelaire’s ideals, are presented in a burlesque manner. Their ornaments (read: statements) are non-linear and hard to read. Understatement is the main attribute of this monstrous image-text. And like every text, this one should also be translated into a language that is rather more understandable.

In order to understand and bring to reason this anti-reason-idea, it is understood that we have to understand the over-rational.

The beginning of this process involves a certain tool. A tool that we would use to suspend our cubical intellectual magnifying glass that is only good at the reading of existing (ipso facto) things, but is completely blind in the understanding of the ostensibly-non-existent over-ideas. These archi-ideas become readable exclusively in the superstructures of imagination.

In these overbuilt spheres of imaginary floors, the world is written in the eidetic (pictorial) alphabet. This kind of alphabet has no obvious beginning or end. There is no prologue, development or epilogue. No fragmented and isolated groups. However, all the connections, recognitions and shaping is actually happening right here. Here, on this phantasmagoric channels of the downside of  Persona, are drawn constellations of the true arch (above) – tecture (construction). (Third Didascaly)
