Attraction

One evening Kati browses through a furniture booklet. Takeshi catches the Magazine page by itself. Then, page 27, she stumbles upon the perfect armchair, stops there and glances at it for a while. She retains a very pleasant memory of it (1).

There is a fairly strong wind (2). Takeshi knows it's the wind browsing. But on page 27 movement stops. Why? The chair on the page looks great. Maybe the wind would like it? He would love to get it for the her. She's done so many nice things for him. And just see what a happy exchange (3)! Takeshi coats himself and leaves for the city. Hours later, he returns holding a big box in his arms. What could it possibly be (4)? He proceeds to open it. "I can't believe it (5).". It's the armchair Kati admired. Nobody has ever gotten her anything. She can finally live up to her memory.

Ayn Rand: form must follow function

Also Ayn Rand: (wears a cape)

I shouldn’t be picking on her. Like me, she was a slovenly person.

as long as you remember Sinclair Lewis wrote better books — and she was heavily influenced by Arrowsmith, an excellent book that I would give 5/5 to… though even at that high level still not my fav by Lewis — I am all fine with 3 out of 4 of Ayn Rand’s works of fiction — even the Fountainhead — even though Mies Van Der Rohe fucking sucks as an influence — he’s fine, but influenced way too many — and even that awful shit about dynamiting public works housing by sneakily chaining auteur theory to capitalism, as she did! The gall! Fucking Russians!

just as I was taught in high school, I believe, it truly is Atlas Shrugged in which she stepped being her capabilities in trying to overwrought a a masterpiece.

Ayn Rand might paralyze you into sitting on the political fence, though. She did to me around the age of 21 - 27 in which i gave little thought to politics compared to years later, though I was trying to focus on living out my youth and making music and getting things pieced and such.

should I get my lip ring reinstated? It’s hard to ever imagine I had one. I was white trash enough to get a barbell or whatever in my brow because the guy from Godsmack had one and he made my dick hard. Now that is embarrassing, kids. Trust that I could probably outcringe you with stories of my life. I pretty much guarantee it, especially ages 5 to 25.

this pic is so ‘grand poobah of libertarian capitalism’:

on the floor of ‘palpable residents’

‘scraping against the slightly elastic ceramoid tiles. [11] Stone paving, blotched walls, [Rand, The Fountainhead] no hand set in place, moving the slow weight with crane [14]’

Daniel Craig/ Reason of visit: disrupted the Grand Bazaar during his stunt

‘an area that provides you with a solid wall, statue, fountain, pillar or other structure behind you’.[26]

Civil engineers/ Reason of visit: used cheap sand in construction

‘The animal was breathing; it was alive; its sharp claws partially, harmlessly touching my skin; its soft fur ruffled by the air from the vent above us.’ [27]

Hunters/ Reason of visit: caused multiple wild animals in Istanbul to go extinct

aviarium

My feet do not touch the solid grounds anymore as I cross the flying bridge.[26] I enter the aviarium.

Its forms are so distinct from the look of nature (… ), they are so alert to the logic of light and materials, that they seem linked to the sky.[27] A “Skyspace” where all you do is sit (or, in this case, float), and watch what is usually all around you.[28] Here we be like birds in cage.[29]

It is a circular room, letting in the light overhead.[30] The whole interior with its glazed dome is like an enormous cast iron bird cage.[31] Its matte gilding forms an uncommonly rich polychrome whole with the purple supporting columns, the glittering green glazed roof (…), and the shimmering white (…) foundation. [32] Flying arches spring from the columns [33] connecting to the centre in which the light pavilion appears to float.[34] But they are not “unreal,” they work in a different plane of reality.[35]

Neither the light" (…) for the light is precisely that of soft, diffuse sunlight, though no sun is in the sky, and, for that matter, no sky is clearly visible "nor the gravity seems credible.[36]

I am whirling around with all sorts of other flying objects, in an aviary stocked with rare species. [37] 

Some of them resemble inflatable mattresses; others are rather like discs, tubes or (… ) bags.[38] They are like birds.[39] It is windy, my cigarette goes flying across the room.[40]

This is the home to all flying objects.

Humming, buzzing and moaning sounds fill the air.[41] A distant buzzing, systematic and competent.[42]

Bumblebees and hummingbirds, electrical toothbrushes and dragonflies, wires and cables, flying fish and tiny drones, dancing in synchrony and then again in chaos.

A flight of birds has often a pleasing effect.[43] My heart was ravished by the humming song of these "birds" and I forgot my cares and slept in the aviary till the morning.[44]

Hi, my name is Charlotte Adigéry

First of all, I would like you to thank yourself for taking a time-out. [3]

For coming here to experience with us a truly unique moment in time. Welcome home.

Sweat runs down my face, mixes with makeup, mixes with fearful anticipation. Fear dissolves into excitement.

I look towards him. Standing on the other end of the stage.

His arms raised like the conductor of an orchestra [ ...] violent rhythms succeed a graceful andante. [4]

An art as fragile and evanescent as perfume, fluid empiricism, transitory, forgotten, misunderstood philosophies [5]

I raise my voice towards the crowd. Sharp synthesizers are chased by light-footed rhythms.

Voices make noise, so do things. [6]

The whole building vibrates with animation. Draws energy from the movement of the masses.

An automaton thinking it had free will! [7]

Madness here took its face from the mask of the beast. [8]

Lyrical anecdotes […] allow everyone at the club to dance away the weight of their own traumas. [9]

Their facades fall. Their fear evaporates.

They could drop the nameless resentment, the sense of insecurity which […] aroused in most people. [10]

It is the excess of joy. [11]

Happy are the melted bodies. [12]

However, there is destruction in every creative act. This is the pinnacle.

Now I have become death, the destroyer of worlds. [13]

The goddess was always ready to draw her bow. [14]

For her joyous benefit she is erogenous; she is the erotogeneity of the heterogeneous: airborne swimmer, in flight, she does not cling to herself; she is dispersible, prodigious, stunning, desirous and capable of others, of the other woman that she will be, of the other woman she isn’t, of him, of you. [15]

Embracing myself is the most attractive thing to be. [16]

I proudly wear my alter egos. Strip away my persona, only to reveal another and another. At last, I stand naked, as a woman. As the becoming mother I am.

Bear with me and I’ll stand bare before you [17]

Breathe in for 1, 2, 3, 4

Hold

Release [18]

If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once in the sky, that would be the splendor of the mighty One. [19]

What came first, the chicken or the egg? [20]

I scream.

Accepting nothing ready-made, nothing already in existence. [21]

I scream.

It Hit Me. [22]

I scream.

Silence.

interrupted by a baby cry. [23]

The ages of life make themselves independent. [24]

A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. [25]

There flowed in her veins some of the blood of the bohemian and the adventuress who runs barefoot. [26]

When the child was born, she laid him on a bed of munja grass. I speak my final words. [27]

Creative culture is this fragile child expiring among us, a new born in the throes of death ever since the world began. [28]

Applause disrupts the infinite pause.

Everything now suggests that at last I shall be able to find a firmer sense of purpose within me and that I can rely on. [29]

I inhale, gratefully.

I’m finally whole. [30]

The curtain falls.

THE SIL/ICON

„[…]I remember the pavement, it was right under my nostrils. I can still see it, there were veins in the stone and white spots.[…][23]“ ([its] character sketches of the daily life in Odysseus’ household constitute a sort of comedy of character.[24]) inside She is standing next to the surgery table, surrounded by hanging body parts - not to be defined. Flesh or silicone.  Two large windows allow you to see who is in the [lab] and watch what they are doing.[25] In porn, an audience is able to watch sex acts being performed.[26] „If I sing and dance, I seduce, and if I dress and scent myself, I slay.[27] I need to express. Style, brains, and the skills to intellectually seduce both men and women on a grand scale.[28] [I] try to seduce him in exchange for being saved.“[29] Silicone implants?[30] “I answer, yes indeed[…].[31] Everything you’ll ever need.” It likes to serve,  It likes to have a purpose again,  It admires the power. On the first side, it is […] servant, on the other its master.[32] „I would like for the world—now pay attention to the way I say this—I would like for the world not to change so that I can be against the world.[33]” Are you not in my power?“[34] It denies, only every 24 hours

1. if someone wanted to really understand you, what would they read, watch, and listen to?

Easy! Read The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand, watch Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2, and listen to Brand New’s The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me.

16. if you’d grown up in a different environment, do you think you’d have turned out the same?

Yes. I was skeptical about religion and politics at a very young age. I always went my own way, and learned from my own mistakes, so I don’t think anything would change that.

27. do you feel like your outside appearance is a fair representation of the “real you”?

Totally. I don’t pretend to be something I’m not. I’m a huge nerd and I love representing my fandoms with my clothing and jewelry, but I also like to look nice when I go out so I always do my hair and make-up. Unless, of course, I feel like being lazy and then you get what you get!

Send me some asks!!

Passing By

Exile

Lenny stands in the garden, once again, facing towards the city. The large shadow cast by the neighboring building covers the entire House and its surroundings. He would like to sit, but the sunless afternoon makes it too cold for him. He thinks about his first time there, on a similar day, how he had been underwhelmed by the banal garden when passing the walls, and how unwelcome he had felt by the cold pure white house upon reaching the front door. He cannot remember how long ago; was it weeks? Months already? Could it be years?

-How much time gone to waste! [1]

He misses his long contemplative walks in the lush, warm and calm gardens of Rome. In Vienna the garden does not allow him to walk long enough to finish half a thought. There is no docile ear to listen when he wishes to speak, to be heard. The city seems to be pushing against the walls, shrinking the garden bit by bit, applying pressure, ready to crush him.

- How does death feel?… How does death feel?... [2]

Lenny suddenly turns on his feet and heads towards the house. He does not fear death; he fears the thought of death. [3]

The most whimsical idea was, that not believing in hell, he was firmly persuaded of the reality of purgatory. [4] Was this it? But how did he get here? He should listen only to his own zeal and should bear his exile without a murmur; that exile is one of his duties. [5] But what homeland do those seek to whom this entire world is a place of exile? [6] An exile, of which every one is more ashamed than the sufferer, is not exile at all. [7]

He reaches the door, pushes the handle and steps inside.

Memory

Lenny stands still and looks around him. He suddenly feels very light. The room is bathed in warm sunshine and he can see dust floating in the air. The walls are covered with shelves that contain books and picture frames. The entire surface of the room is occupied by small tables and pedestals, presenting countless other objects. Lenny picks up a book, but doesn’t recognize the language in which it is written. He looks at the frames,  but they are all empty. None of the objects seem to be of use for anything to him. He walks around, trying to find something that he recognizes. Nothing. He thinks to himself:

- You’re too tied to the past. [8] None of this matters. The past is an enormous place, with all sorts of things inside. Not so with the present. The present is merely a narrow opening with room for only one pair of eyes. Mine.[9]

Lenny’s thoughts are interrupted by a distant sound. He can make out a quiet, rhythmic thump, emanating from the big empty white wall at the very end of the room. It is free of objects and coverings. [10] Is there someone else in the house? He exits the room to try and get to the other side of the wall. He guides himself by sound. [11] He searches and searches, but there doesn’t seem to be any way of getting there. He returns to the bright room and looks at the empty wall. The quiet thump continues.

- The future is hidden from me. [12] Is eternal life not as enigmatic as the present one? [13]

Lenny’s frustration grows with every thump. He starts kicking the wall, hitting it with various objects. Noise against noise. [14] White flakes of plaster and wood fly into the air, joining the dust before hitting the ground as he gradually destroys the wall, creating an opening just big enough for him to see through. Lenny looks inside but cannot make anything out in the dark space. He can hear the sound more clearly now, resonating. Lenny keeps going. Hitting, thrashing. The hole is now large enough, letting some light in and allowing him to crawl inside. The darkness embraces him lovingly. [15]

Malaise

As the dust settles, Lenny finds himself in a dimly lit space of strange proportions, much higher than it is wide. Vast. And silent. There is no more thumping. Here nothing but darkness and chilling moisture. [16]

There is however another monument of this dynasty. The celebrated Labyrinth, which must now be passed over entirely in silence. [17] Lenny advances in the only possible direction. The seemingly random movement of the endless walls forces him forward. He loses sense of time, and space seems to curve. He wonders if he really has a choice in navigating this artificial infinity. [18] He knows that his freedom of will consists in the fact that his future actions cannot be known now. [19]

He advances further. Gradually the ceiling becomes visible as it  lowers above his head and the space straightens in front of him. For the first time since entering, he sees behind the vertical horizon of the walls. Clarity instead of vagueness. [20] At the end, a heavy door, filling the entire space between ground, walls and ceiling.

Lenny thinks about going back, but the eternal silence of these infinite spaces fills him with dread. [21] He takes a few more steps until he notices on the door, written with golden letters: « The Abode of Beauty ». [22] Lenny erupts.

- Open the door! Open the door, I said! [23]

The door bursts open. [24] He thinks to himself.

- A door opening to the unknown, discoverer of the new, maker of the new, maker of life. [25]

Lenny stands in the threshold. A door between two rooms is in both of them. [26] He steps forward and closes it behind him. His eyes slowly adapt to the bright warm light.

Sisyphus

Lenny stares in disbelief. In front of him he recognizes the unknown objects, strange books, empty pictures. And in the back, a cold, empty white wall.

He falls to his knees.

- My God, my god why have you forsaken me, I say to you now. [27] I came because I’ve never felt so alone and in despair in all my life. [28]

God’s infinite silence… God’s infinite silence… God’s infinite silence. [29] More cruel than the silence of prisons, that kind of silence is in itself a prison. [30]

Lenny screams and runs to the main entrance of the House.

He skids out, slamming the door. [31]

Other forces would have had to intervene […] to allow architecture to come in for a modest share in the great human revolt. [32] The House is capricious. One can struggle against it and hold back what has to be; then one becomes the person in revolt. [33]

Lenny steps into the cold afternoon light. He walks into the garden. The air was calm, and the sky unclouded, [34] but the Sun is hidden behind a skyscraper.
