Haze Gaze é a segunda parte de um projeto que parte da apropriação livre que Silvana Ivaldi faz do universo da Divina Comédia de Dante Alighieri. Após Dolce Still Nuovo, parte dedicada ao capítulo do Inferno, surge Haze Gaze, dedicado ao capítulo do Purgatório.

The pleasure principle: o Purgatório é o axioma.  All composing lies there. Let me call this impulse hiding. I’m obsessed with myself. These ambiguous zones make me obsessed with myself. I witnessed an intense and passionate conversation. Perception always has an element of deception. There’s something rather irksome but also delicious about that, you say with a glint in your eye. Aren’t you obsessed with yourself? Great crimes are committed before mirrors; no one is ever the wiser. Et nous vivions de l'air du temps. Made in made. Your gaze is haze too. I take it that what finds partial expression in the various radical disruptions of academic ideals is sometimes a desire for a real Dionysian chaos. Até quando posso ficar contigo? I guess something like this needed to be said. Perhaps not so drunkenly. E tira forte il vento.

Este texto é uma assemblage de Silvana Ivaldi a partir de: Silvana Ivaldi, Madeline Gins, McKenzie Wark, Kenneth Goldsmith, Charles Aznavour, James Elkins, Kathy Acker e Raffaele Sacco.
