killing denouement

why so insanely fab? somehow not unlike the mad street shops down in karama, hugely overpriced of course. I’m also so reminded of those Balenciaga gold plate armour leggings – wonder what could be done with a bit of work and some pyramid studs/ metallic spraypaint/ gold foil to old shinguards? or perhaps even some blinged-out kneepads..

I don’t know how I feel about her hyper-appropriation in her music, but aesthetically, ooh. I’m somewhat reminded of Deleuze and control societies/revolutionary becoming, and Bataille’s call for irrationality/headlessness. At that, I’d love to look at this and urban guerrilla theory re: fashion.. perhaps a possible thesis topic?

Bataille, from the Sacred Conspiracy: “It is time to abandon the world of the civilized and its light. It is to late to want to be reasonable and learned, which has led to a life without attractions. Secretly or not, it is necessary to become other, or else cease to be.

Human life is defeated because it serves as the head and reason of the universe. Insofar as it becomes that head and reason it accepts slavery. If it isn’t free, existence becomes empty or neuter, and if it is free, it is a game. The earth, as long as it only engendered cataclysms, trees, and birds was a free universe; the fascination with liberty became dulled when the earth produced a being who demanded necessity as a law over the universe. Man nevertheless remained free to no longer respond to any necessity. He is free to resemble all that is not he in the universe. He can cast aside the idea that it is he or God who prevents everything else from being absurd. “
