The Photograph then becomes a bizarre (i)medium(i), a new form of hallucination: false on the level of perception, true on the level of time: a temporal hallucination, so to speak, a modest (o)shared(i) hallucination (on the one hand 'it is not there,' on the other 'but it has indeed been'): a mad image, chafed by reality.
it is perfectly possible to converse with any cat, from prize-winning Siamese to alley tabby.

At the bottom of philosophy something very true and very desperate whispers: Everyone is hungry all the time. Everyone is starving.
