Where am I really at home: in the body to which I do not want to belong or in the city that is always a different one?
“Most beautiful is what is already gone.” But for oneself to vanish behind it is not an option. After all, you don’t want to be pushed out into the cold, you want to construct a safe position as a comfortable home, a place where you can live. Where you’re familiar with human rhetoric. Where you construct a common rhetoric familiar to you. And if you’re not familiar with it, you don’t exist. You disappear.
A man walks around Graz constructing his Graz, doing away with what doesn’t belong, reformulating his world. If your own life eludes control, then at least, be pride out of despair. A Graz of gigantic grandeur. A metropolis. Megalomania for a want of alternatives. A total work of art.
