“Take an event with a well-worn, wrinkled skin.
In the machinery of identities being shaped in the present, choose its generic image.
Gently peel away its front side — the side of urgency — and on what remains, allow the reality it has produced to settle.
Plunge it all into a large pot of memory and let time evaporate over a low heat.
Add a few playful spices, a few precise measures borrowed from anthropological manuals.
From time to time, observe the reorganisation of environments as combinations of loosened flavours begin inventing other orders. Let the deconstruction of the instant invade the obvious.
Then watch the impression-seekers gain thickness, the depthlessness of clichés revealing their desires.
Watch a trompe-l’œil become a lookout over the grid of a schoolchild’s notebook; the dilution of anonymous images revealing the meshes of possible stories.
When the lines and figures of the lovers of urgency have woven the outline of emotions, it is ready.
Lift the lid.
Let everything escape.”
