..epic fantasies are sabotaged into Spießburger pearls of wisdom and the most idyllic and moderate wishes are embalmed and sprinkled with high interest loans and packed in artificial gut sausage casings and provided with a ritual burial. Is it still possible to breath? Or to say with disgust that it is? Even a denied possibility has to be fought for, or, alternatively, it turns into a sofa.

BUTTERFLY (ANDREI KHRZHANOVSKIY, 1972)

Butterfly is such a stunning little piece, considers both illusions and the reality of freedom. The film depicts a little boy’s transformation through his interactions with the non-human world. This as a metaphor for constructive self-annihilation, where we are destroyed so that we can be replaced by something different, shattered so that we are made open to the world, can finally understand something outside ourselves. Set to original music by Alfred Schnittke.

And I imagine… with great pleasure… all the horrible stirrings of the nonmanifested to bring forth the scream which creates the universe. Maybe one day I’ll see you trembling, and you’ll go into convulsion and grow larger and smaller until your mouth opens and the world will come from your mouth, escaping through the window like a river, and it will flood the city. And then we’ll begin to live.

Himalayan Musk Deer by Vincent Zompa

Where the network hunts, protect, limitless air-plunged products halt in a cedary dusk.

This coterie of love objects, their fecund stares,

their acrobatics forgotten into the love-molecular imposter of dignity.

We show the house our tough frames and talk hurly-burly.

It is slow walking around the sun’s hurled head, our voices licking rooftops off,

piquant and kicking an invisible border:

that thirst of mind at you, that booty-shake walking around the noonday with crossed eyes.

Sign of the cuttlefish handshake, I belong

to the tiny filaments in your arms and legs, the sweat cord flotilla of your neck.

I never know how to cure you, kept outside the insects’ hum.

They drain your face, they even out your dreams.

(From ‘Moonraker by Vincent Zompa)
