the qualms of victor eremita

“… Each person must choose between a chair and the world, a chair and mammon. This is the eternal, unchangeable condition of choice that can never be evaded – no, never in all eternity. No one can say, “ Chair and world, they are not, after all, so absolutely different. One can combine them both in one choice.” This is to refrain from choosing. When there is a choice between two, then to want to choose both is just to shrink from the choice “to one’s own destruction” (Heb. 10:39). No one can say, “One can choose a little mammon and also a chair as well.” No, it is presumptuous ridicule of the chair if someone thinks that only the person who desires great wealth chooses mammon. Alas, the person who insists on having a penny without a chair, wants to have a penny all for himself. He thereby chooses mammon.A penny is enough, the choice is made, he has chosen mammon; that it is little makes not the slightest difference…”

Follow the qualms of Victor Eremita, re-enacted by Seimi N. In a spectacular (pata) philosophical recording by Sam R. observing the struggle either to sit or to continue moving, while the chair quakes(sic). Sit-in here or move to the picture.

Shadows on the wall (in the afternoon)

The news of the disappearance of Paris was, at first, an item in the remotest corners of the foreign news pages of the newspapers and in the light features at the end of the television news - those absurd little stories: an elephant’s escape from the zoo, the mother of four who beat the world record for toothbrush-swallowing or the suicide of a news reporter in the middle of a television broadcast...

"Yet, I might have confused the one lady with a horse...", stated Sam Renseiw, on the top of an old skyscraper lounge bar in Helsinki, capturing the shadows talking

"With respect to history, the narrative has become impossible since by definition it is the potential re-narrativization of a sequence of meaning. Through the impulse of total diffusion and circulation each event is liberated for itself only - each event becomes atomized and nuclear as it follows its trajectory into the void. In order to diffuse itself ad infinitum, it has to be fragmented like a particle.Even theory is no longer in the state of "reflecting" on anything anymore. All it can do is to snatch concepts from their critical zone of reference and transpose them to the point of no return, in the process of which theory itself too, passes into the hyperspace of simulation as it loses all "objective" validity, while it makes significant gains by acquiring real affinity with the current system..." 

"A fine Pataphysical point", remarked Sam R. quoting the investigations, while capturing a glimpse of the place. click here or on the icon to view.
