On Discontinuity
Encouraging the inclusion of elements of different extraction amounts to facilitating the emergence of simultaneities on the same plane of discourse, while maintaining a powerful sense of fragmentation.This attitude is based on an intimate desire to form a new body that is the result of the different levels of experience and, therefore, from different angles of knowledge. Something in itself divided and global which allows of impos- sibility as a limit of the real and at the same time denies it as a utopia.
Discontinuity arises as an emerging process of critical points and as a leap over the continuity of the process of stable balances.And only by envisioning these critical points as turning places are we able to get to the origin of changes.
For centuries, representation has forced us to forget our own selves and application has cloaked language excessively to the point of causing it to forget its most intimate sound, and all this is irremediably now part of time and, accord- ingly, part of the individual. Similarly, when we give matter a certain applied sense, we distance it from itself, entering into the debt that representation exacts from anyone who decides to embrace it. However, when we infuse a specific substance with a slight narrative sense without aiming to determine it in an absolute fashion, we make this distanc- ing into a form of affirmation-negation of the very matter by creating a dialectical image whose narrative sense lies on the surface of each substance without too much literature, without anecdote or moral preaching, and we then afford
it a particularity that causes it momentarily to forget itself and remember itself. It is these surface contractions, oxida- tions and folds which multiply and contract indistinctly the specific qualities of some substances to the limits of their very negation, where another essence replaces the original one. And it is on the verge of this material alienation, but without reaching it, that it is necessary to evidence this amalgam of elements, distinguish them and, simultaneously, establish their consubstantial relationships.
