Thinking against the currents of the Enlightenment, the physical and mental craving for light, as a way of avoiding hypervisibility. Choosing the space of darkness, of opacity and shadows as a way of actually seeing yourself – maybe the physical sight is overrated: in a world where everything has been reduced to visibility it can be helpful to sharpen our other sensen, to rehearse different sensibilities. If light is control, darkness is a retreat for contemplation and knowledge.
