Report: a kind of captivity you can't unsee; not a prison you're placed in, but one which is suddenly consistent with the freedom (you think) you've always been enjoying: named after the kuleshov effect and its demonstration of the human face's necker latitude: a shot of a man's expressionless face alternated with a: bowl of soup, a child in a coffin, a woman: in each case, you're reading radically different emotions into the same expression: from hunger to grief to lust, though, obviously, it's the same expression: and so a kuleshov prison means suddenly realizing the latitude the world contains in being the hell you always feared could exist... though nothing has changed: forget the Lacanian Real and its traumatic demolition of the Symbolic, forget the kitsch of Caligari & 20th c. art with its skies peeled away exposed all maroon & gizzard, the eternal scab: tortured trees, tortured lands exteriorizing the drama of the soul... the external without pretense is already this night, the Real is not an “out there” breaking and entering into your “in here”, but a Fourier snap in perception: not a burglar, but a roommate, who darkens your door: to see the blue of the sky as ALREADY the roof of the Hell-of-all-hells, no need to scratch at it... just as the ground beneath your feet is already the launch pad to the plerome: quick little experiment: imagine how the war dead must have hated the sun gasping their final breaths: how abominable its light must have suddenly seemed, that it never blinked... the World no longer a noetic blueprint, a botched imitation... the empty donut hole of parallax, or the dialectical wheeling of pedagogical Spirit, but like a Necker cube: everything simultaneous & incommensurable... in that sense it is not just positive, but precisely superpositive: the superposition (NOT identity) of Night and Day, of the Woman-in-the-Mirror (Sophia?) and the Skull, the Lecher and the Sage, the Womb-Tomb and the
