The object as fetish and icon.
Within the image (saturated in colour) and the sound (sampled and contorted), beauty and revulsion, hope and despair still linger.
A confusion of memory and observation.
A confusion of meanings in symbols and narrative.
A confusion of order in disorder.
‘There is special providence in the fall of a sparrow, if it be now, ’tis not to come, if it be not to come, it will be now, if it be not now, yet it will come, the readiness is all.’ – N.G.S.
