?context, 1

It is not easy to speak too generally, without referring to particular pieces as examples. Then again, the example is not easy to explain in terms of an obvious proof or evidence or as a paradigm, as if there was an easy bridge between the explication and the object so-called being explained. It is a tricky dance, and pursuing it in itself can become an objective illusion.

To simplify to a ridiculous level, to write something is first of all to raise a question, fundamental perhaps, on the nature of relationships with scripts.

The working relationship that I pretend to project is not towards the exemplification or creation of semantic, aesthetic or scriptural models. The organic phantasm I would like to deploy--if vertigo can be paused, involves the temporal suspension of knowing that I am pretending, so that something could arise: scripted or not, marginal or central, in letter or in spirit. Whatever arrives, it would carry traits that destabilize so many times that--far from leading to a thematics or a message--would seem to take on these very functions by default: short-circuited, delayed, suspended, lost, blocked, interrupted, altered, rerouted, split, disrupted, etc.

Definitely, or maybe definitely, one procedure cannot be used forever; that is, it can only be pursued so long, since it would eventually satisfy its own stylistic inertia, even if it may be torn within by its own syntactic and logical contradictions. One solution can delay this by inserting a circle of instability into a bigger circle of instability.

At any rate, that can probably sum up the whole idea of contexts for me.

Indeed, it has become a big question why a text like that needs to be produced at all, when we have so many approaches already around explored by many brilliant individuals, some subsumed under "nonlinear" writing, an idea which in itself is not a given, but another question. (Or, any idea is already a question.)

So there you go: to make these texts is probably closer to a form of asking a question, than to a form of giving an answer, or an example. It is not so different from asking What is a human being? or What is love? and getting tragedy or sonnets.

Finally, if you ask me what a text is, then probably you would hear something like: at the moment we don't know what it is, sorry. But are you any better asking what time it is?
