somatological slipstreams....photographs mk II

'Movement vision is sight turned proprioceptive, the eyes reabsorbed into the flesh through a black hole in the geometry of empirical space and a gash in bodily form. Vision is a mixed mode of perception registering both form and movement. For it to gain entry into the quasi-corporeal, the realm of pure relationality, it must throw aside form in favour of unmediated participation in the flesh.'

Brian Massumi
