- Here is the other side
of capitalist dynamics.
Capitalism is all the time in crisis.
This is precisely why it
appears almost indestructible.
Crisis is not it's obstacle.
It is what pushes it
forwards towards permanent,
revolutionizing self reproduction.
Always new products.
The other invisible side of it is waste,
tremendous amount of waste.
We experience history, not
when we are engaged in things,
when things move.
Only when we see this again rest,
waste of culture, being
confronted by nature.
At that point, we get an
intuition of what history means.
Maybe this also accounts
for the redemptive value
of post-catastrophic movie.
We see this devastation
to human environment,
half-empty factories,
machines falling about,
half-empty stores.
What we experience at this moment,
the psychoanalytic term
for it would have been
the inertia of the reality,
this mute presence beyond meaning.
Maybe without this
properly artistic moment
of authentic passivity,
nothing new can emerge.
Maybe something new only
emerges through the failure,
the suspension of proper functioning
of the existing network
of our life where we are.
Maybe this is what we
need more than ever today.
