A Story
A man is attacked by an unknown wild creature. He pulls an animal guide book from his pocket and, locating the creature in question, begins to read out loud the descriptions and characteristics of the beast. As he does so, the creature gradually changes until it: (a) looks identical to the man and disappears from view (b) eats the man (c) looks identical to the man but eats him anyway.
Words: fantasies, constructions, impositions. Amongst other things. And when words, our language and its names, meet points of resistance and are repelled by something for which they hold no meaning, contain no context, communicate no thing... Well, what then?
