Repulsion


How is it possible to climb out of one’s head  The modernized version of Descartes is “I think too much.” Is your world wall papered with the black hole of interiority? Has a stranger ever walked in on you while you were naked? It’s an embarrassment of riches for those who want to be spared their own astronomy. The files fill in from the dormant program called “reality.” Remember the scene in Polanski's Repulsion where the psychotic Catherine Deneuve envisions a crack in the wall which the film viewer never sees? Her break is a case of the blind leading the blind. Behind the monotony of every day life lurk the monsters that haunted The Overlook Hotel. 

read "An Incident of Defenestration" by Francis Levy, Vol. 1 Brooklyn

and listen to "Bernadette" by The Four Tops
