Abolition of Man From
The Lost Book of Souls
"We establish new orders and understanding
within nature. Everyday encounters with artificial environments have to
be re-assessed through the conflicts between reality into something unreal,
but accepted via our senses. We are dealing with the fetish of lost objects.
In the minute duplication of the real, reality collapses into hyper-reality.
Images are transferred into the imaginative world of symbols and dreams.
This could form a symbolic representation in which is sensed the order
of living with the dead in form of past memories, everyday feelings and
desire. An object sensed in the shape of beauty or decay is distorted into
something impossible, eclipsing the present to form the past."
Peter Max Kandhola
