A game with non-existent objects: a continuation or an expectation in
people who disappear; whose dull shouts can be heard from within the
wall. Hence they are said to be stuck in their career. This goes on for
seven days and three nights, then the wall breaks. Connexions between
elements and unconnected elements that could be connected: Odd
partials, second-hands moving at regular angular velocity, eye and
metronome, commented with hieroglyphs and in greek; birds with long
beeks, fishes and metronomes, birds wearing a tie?I do not despise any of this, but strive towards a bleach indifference towards every sensation: Cutting lemniscate. Citrus-sour circles. Threatful squares and sexy squares walking down a staircase. (Looks as if one walks around inside a sack with arms raised.)
There is some controversy as to whether we should dream up all these contours or if we could describe them while awake.
We have to wait for one minute, several times. My fascination with the unreal has almost completely come to an end.
The fact that the announced sound of the bell never occurs just leads the attention to other creatures that appear in the guise of a bell. We refuse the bad bells, the ones that look more or less like a candy bowl. We accept Gaussian curves. By striking one with a metal stick we have a perfectly satisfactory alternative to real bell sounds. We have to provide compressed air! Scenario: A square is bombed with a slowly swelling diffuse point of light that moves to the right. The square swallows the light point and folds in around it, slowly deforming into a triangle.
Draw a map over the area existing outside this world, in the form of a printed page. (To be be hung on a wall.)
All this is experienced under hypnosis. Text lines, hieroglyphic translations; at the sound of the bell your dreams will begin.
You may also need an Hybrisgenerator on your way.
