Paper horizon

This refers to a line that is not there     it has to do with the horizon

The paper surface is at this moment, resembling a horizon to me. In my video This refers to a line that is not there    it has to do with the horizon, I realize I am shifting from a back to a front, as two sides of a line, that is both a connectative surface as it is articulating the two bodies and perspectives present. The horizon is sometimes visible, as a screen, as a skin, as a sheet of paper. And sometimes it is invisible, as a sound, as a relation, as a history.

Reading Friday by Michel Tournier, a retelling of the story of Robinson Crusoe, I am inspired to think about the experience of time and the possibility of a world upside down. The tropical island presents us a world underneath the horizon where our lives and constructs are reflected like an animation of the visible, but a complete anotherness is rooted in its surface.

"He had reached this point in his reflections when he felt a movement beneath his hand as it lay palm-down on the earth. He thought at first that it was some insect and explored the surface with his finger tips. But it was the earth itself bursting upward. A field mouse, perhaps, or a mole about to emerge from its digging; and Robinson smiled at the thought of the little creature's terror when it found itself trapped in a prison of flesh instead of reaching open air. The earth moved again and something did emerge, but it was something cold and hard that still remained anchored in the soil. A root!"
