4086 The absence of backdrop, of context, curates a false sense of clarity. It’s reminiscent of Plato’s ‘Allegory of the Cave’ wherein people compete to identify shadows on a wall only to remain unaware of the brilliant beautiful world right outside their cave. This reductive dialectics that combine isolation with focus may also have begun with Descartes and his ‘i think, therefore i am’. It also, i figure, likely plays a part in the temporary curative nature of the industrial therapy apparatus (ITA); wonder if Foucault wrote about that, he probably did. Anyway, the old flume on Aileen catches light perfectly this time of year.
