Description

Sister Morphine is addictive. And she dances incessant self-disintegration. No, she cannot dance. Or she dances the impossibility of dancing = death. That is a boundless moment and duration of the confrontation of <life-death> at the edge where her death <loses=seizes> her. Therefore, she cannot stop dancing. Because nothing else but her death brings her life.

 

It is “a power which unlimitedly blinds us.” It is “our continuous death that can never be possessed as our own. It is always already there, though always outside of us; it’s nothing but our death, which is inscribed there as a trace.”
