USUKU UMAGEE UTHETHA NO-KAREN DONNELLAN NGOMBONO WABO WAKUTSHANJE E-RHA.
Wonke umntu uyakwazi oko iswekile ayikuphathi kakuhle. Ukanti, njengabantwana, yeyona nto sidla ngokuvuzwa ngayo kuqala, sitshintshiselane ngayo nokuba ngabalungileyo. Emva koko uchitha ubomi bakho bonke uzama ukulunga, kwaye ke, ngenye imini, uswele kakhulu umsele weengcambu.
I-Jelly tots kunye ne-marshmallows, ihlatywe nge-skewers yeplanga kwaye ihlelwe kwi-geometric optical illusions, ichitha udonga. Ukutsala amasuntswana e-subatomic kunye neefom zeplatonic, izinto ezityebileyo ezigcinayo IiFlaccids zeCosmic (2023) icandelo lomsebenzi wokuvelisa kwaye ucebise ukuba kukho into ekhulayo.
“Ndiyilangazelela ifiziksi,” lincumile igcisa, uKaren Donnelan. Nge-wry glee kunye nempahla ehambelana nomboniso, uDonnelan undikhenketha kwiiconfections, ethetha ixesha elide malunga ne-entropy versus syntropy-indlela amandla okuphazamiseka anokunika ngayo indlela ekudalweni-ukudipha, kunye nezinto zabo eziqeqeshiweyo, iglasi.
UBaudrillard wabhala ngeglasi ngowe-1968 “njengesixhobo sekamva.” Ekukhanyeni kwayo, iglasi ibonise "unxibelelwano olukhawulezayo phakathi kwangaphakathi nangaphandle," nangona kubaluleke kakhulu, ngokombono wakhe, njengeqhinga lokukhanya - unxibelelwano lwe-ersatz oluye lwahlukanisa le ntlukwano ngokuchasene nokuyichitha. Nangona kunjalo, into esijonga kuyo apha ayizizo iifestile zevenkile, kodwa, eyakhe kaDonelan Inkqubo yeZinto.
Iimfusa ezicacileyo zibhala iikristale ezinombala we-pastel kunye neeminerali, kunye neendlela ezingaqhelekanga apho ukukhanya kuhlangana khona namaphepha kunye neeshadi zeglasi ye-dichroic. Intambo epinki i-chew-toy ijikeleze i-phallus ecacileyo (ukuba ayikho i-yoni inverted); Amaso e-lavender anal asangqa kwisamente eluhlaza ye-Romanesco broccoli; iperi rose quartz domes athwale iiperile fake, Blu-Tacked on for iingono. Ubumsulwa kunye nokutenxa ziyadibana, abanyanisekileyo kunye nempoxo baqhubeleka nomdaniso wabo. Kanye njengoko imisebenzi ivelisa ukuchaswa kokoqobo, ngokunjalo ukubhanqa ngakunye kwenza impazamo - ezi zinto azikho. ku funeka ukuba kunye. Iqulathe inkitha yabantu, ayikhe ibekwe ncam engqondweni, nangona ihleli ihleli.
Kwaye sobabini, igcisa kunye nombukeli, siyakhala. “Unemvume yokuhleka kwigalari, kwezi ndawo zinetyhubhu emhlophe,” batsho, ngokungathi sifuna ukukhunjuzwa. UDonnelan uthi: “Ukuba asonwabi nakweyona nxalenye incinane yobomi bethu, emva koko ebhekisela kwindlela ehlala ihleli yokukalwa kweefractals kwindalo, “singazizisa njani ehlabathini?”
UDonnelan ucela umbhali waseMelika wobufazi, u-Audre Lorde ('I-Erotic njengaMandla'), kunye 'nentshukumo yolonwabo' ka-adrienne maree brown, ebonisa ngesondo ngentelekelelo, ukuba ayiyonwabisi ngokwayo, njengetekhnoloji yokubuyisela kunye nezopolitiko. Imisebenzi kaDonnelan ibonakala ibuza: ingaba imizimba yethu ingacinga njani, singasathethi ke ngokumisela inkululeko, ukuba abazange baphile ngemiphumo ecingelwayo yovuyo nenkululeko? Ngenye indlela imibutho, ezi ndawo zeearhente zokuvelisa ulwazi, idatha yephenomenological, ukwakha okanye nokuba nombono we-utopia ngaphandle kokundwendwelwa kuqala kuyo? Ukuba namava kukukholelwa kukuba.
Kulapho i-naïve kunye ne-esoteric inokuhlangana khona; apho umvuzo kunye nesohlwayo, ulonwabo kunye neentlungu kwi-polarization yabo kufuneka, ngaxa lithile, zidibanise kwingxoxo ye-gradient. Imithetho-siseko yokuqala yokuba ngumntu ukwamkela okubini, okanye ukuchasa, igalelo leemvakalelo. Njengoko sikhula, ubomi kuzo zonke iimvakalelo zabo buqala ukuba nodaka; imida ifunyenwe, iqala ukufiphala, okanye iphinde izimise kwakhona kwijimnastiki yethu ye-ontological.
Ukukhetha kufuna imvume, kungekuphela nje kumzimba womnye, kodwa kumzimba womntu, kumandla ayo- oko kukuthi, wenza ntoni? ufuna ukuva? Bandixelela ukuba: “Imilinganiselo yam yomntwana isaxatyiswa. "Kwaye loo glasi inokuba buthathaka ... kodwa inokuba namandla - sinezakhiwo ezipheleleyo ezenziwe ngayo."
