“Memories, they say my images are my memories. No no no! These are not memories: this is all real what you see - every image, every detail, everything is real, everything is real and it’s not a memory, it has nothing to do with my memories anymore. Memories are gone, but the images are here, and they are real! What you see, every second of what you see, here, is real. Is real. Right there in front of your eyes, what you see, it’s real. There, in front of you. Yes, from that screen, it’s all real.” JM

To be haunted before the mask of intellect.
before the reaches of consciousness
A nothing, a no thing, a nowhere.

GHOST DANCE _ to be haunted before the mask of intellect

Before the mask of intellect
Before the reaches of consciousness
A nothing / A no thing / A no-where
