Walter Benjamin, “Unpacking My Library,” from Illuminations. (via mausoleumsoftheword) - on faciality, zur gesichtsphilosophie, nr. 345 |
Naturally, [the collector’s] existence is tied to many other things as well: to a very mysterious relationship to ownership […] also, to a relationship to objects which does not emphasize their functional, utilitarian value—that is, their usefulness—but studies and loves them as the scene, the stage, of their fate. The most profound enchantment of the collector is the locking of individual items within a magic circle in which they are frozen as the final thrill, the thrill of acquisition, passes over them. Everything remembered and thought, everything conscious, becomes the pedestal, the frame, the base, the lock of his property. The period, the region, the craftsmanship, the former ownership—for a true collector, the whole background of an item adds up to a magic encyclopedia whose quintessence is the fate of his object. In this circumscribed area, then, it may be surmised how the great physiognomists—and collectors are the physiognomists of the world of things—turn into interpreters of fate.

What happens inside foggy spaces of freedom through invisibility is not so much of interest for faciality, but rather concepts of new ways of seeing and expressing and how a media competence can evolve beyond an interfaciality where persons are seen and act as screens and cameras. -> a critique of the fag face project
on faciality, zur gesichtsphilosophie, nr. 343
Accumulate cum so that your face becomes a volatile liquid surface with no eyes, nose, or mouth; keep the smell from rimming so that your face and ass are irreducible; let the pubic hair gather into different consistencies of stickiness; wipe the shit left on your fingers under your hidden, cum-filled eyes like war paint. Transform your face into a hypertrophized state of fag-ness. Let these new excesses dissolve readability. Let your fag face configure with these materials into that which is not identifiable. Once 1000 cocks have cum on my head and 1000 asses have wiped their shit and sweat there, try to tell me what my face is. We accelerate like this—fuck like this—to become faceless. Because a face is never ours.
