A day beside the seaside


I think where i am not, therefore i am where i do not think... The ring of meaning flees from our grasp along the verbal thread. What one ought to say is: I am not wherever i am the plaything of my thought. I think of what i am where i do not think to think...

Jaques Lacan 1977

The Art Of Truth

London - June 2010





"To the truth of art, external reality is irrelevant. Art creates its own reality, within which truth and the perfection of beauty is the infinite refinement of itself. History is very different. It is an empirical search for external truths, and for the best, most complete, and most profound external truths, in a maximal corresponding relationship with the absolute reality of past events."
David Hackett Fischer - University Professor and Earl Warren Professor of History at Brandeis Unviveristy
