Pornotopias: Image, Apocalypse, Desire

Pornotopias: Image, Apocalypse, Desire

Thierry Tillier
3.6/5 ( ratings)
This volume includes contributions by Georges Bataille, Johannes Birringer, Karmen MacKendrick, Benjamin H.

"Bodily existence is an existence lived in constant fascination with a world beyond one's reach. Embodiment, desire, metaphor. To exist on the verge of nonexistence. In the headlong pursuit of the real, of the other. Of the base materiality of the world, of religious hypothesis, of absolute relativity. Every utopia is a pornography, a recrudescence and pathological disillusionment, a lure into the vortex--paradoxical annulment of pure reason, compulsion, repetition, consumption."
