Flows of information are being passed down. We are talking about the collective unconscious, could it be that the body remembers what the body before had undergone?


An inside/out upside down view, as investigated by George Bataille observes how wounds and ruptures create sudden spaces, allowing us to identify an activity of spontaneous reciprocity. This space, in essence an opening of the body through erotics and sensuality, provokes both tenderness and violence. These tactile territories interrupt skins; they disrupt and invite a transgression in navigational flows generated through touch.
