You say blindness, and the nylon does obscure the face, but it doesn’t eliminate sight entirely—there’s a translucent quality that allows peripheral vision, shape recognition, movement detection. The work insists on “unconditional… Read more

He’s not being documented; he’s documenting back. But this inversion only works if we accept that staring and bead-counting are equivalent forms of agency, and I’m not… Read more

Iwan says “the motives do not add up” and I believe him, because the video doesn’t resolve that contradiction; it performs it.

Iwan’s self-awareness—”I find it amazing how good I can fool myself”—is doing a lot of work to pre-emptively soften what’s actually happening: two artists imposing formal attire on a *catador*, observing his strain, and calling it revelation.

in dependency we find the puppet and the puppeteer. prevent the need and seek the edge where carbon levels makes one enslaved to the situation.

if your enemy is superior, evade him. if angry, irritate him. if equally matched, fight and if not, split. re-evaluate

men are forced to find meaning solely in the discipline of the act itself; entirely pointless, unnecessary, or pernicious.

What’s interesting is that the violence you mention doesn’t read as climactic catharsis but more… Read more
