The Complete Text Would Be Insufferable/ Language as Prosthesis

Order Here

We begin with the image of an idea in ruin. A small field of assumptions disassembled. A question no longer in need of its mark. A thought not sure where it began. It starts from the body and language. The debris of these three words, crumbling already at and, did not break apart but congealed the separations once made. We start from a research (project) undone and just beginning.

This publication hosts two parallel texts, an epic prose poem and an essay on language as a prosthetic device. The texts run parallel throughout the book leaving openings and crossings between.
