I decided to love it and despise it in the way you love and despise something that belongs to you.

In order that a scene appear plausible, what's necessary is something that shouldn't be there but is there nevertheless. The fly in the soup. That incredible and at the same time logical presence confers on the event a singularity which can only be believed.

Horizontal Vertigo

By Juan Villoro.

Design by Tyler Comrie.

The simple gesture of gathering up junk reveals the pleasure of intervening in the order of things. Apropos of the passion for arranging stones in a capricious way, John Berger observes: "Wherever you go, one stone touches another. And here in this cruel soil, you approach the most delicate thing: a way to place one stone on top of another that irrefutably announces a human act as different from natural chance." To mark a place with a stone is a way of convoking a presence. A cobblestone is the first syllable in the grammar of the world.
