The body turns free from the skin, regenerates itself..time endless deceit. I ll become a man, I born, I die, continously"...
From the performance at the ex- slaughterhouse in Prato (ex-macelli, Prato, Italy).
"[] classical science shared the project of certain Eastern mystics--Buddhists, Taoists, etc.--whose aim was to escape the torments of a changing, deceptive world and to live this world as though it were an illusion. Men like Einstein aimed to demonstrate that human subjectivity was merely an illusion and that reality consisted of a transparent, intelligible Universe, purged of everything that touches on the lives of man, of painful, nostalgic memory of the past, of fear or hope for the future. Needless to say, these metaphysical and scientific viewpoints were in absolute opposition to our inner world in which, rightly or wrongly, we lived in a time rhythm which is unstable and uncertain, which creates novelty--new events--and in which we are conscious of having a freedom of choice, upon which the very notion of rationality is based".
