I'm not sure I noticed an association between Marishiten (Marici) and illusion until I saw Curious Ordinary's thread on Bluesky but it makes a lot of sense, having read Valerio Mattioli's "Solarisation", and now I think I need to dig into this theme of illusion, invisibility, and sunlight in association with Marici. Something will tie back to solar myth. I'm near certain.

SOLARISATION (2026)

More sun does not mean more reality. The process of solarisation — the overexposure of a surface to light — is not a revelation, but a blinding. It is the point where illumination becomes annihilation. To choreograph solarisation is to treat the body as a sensitive surface. Each gesture becomes a chemical event: an oxidation, a dissolution, a stain. The conceptual framework draws on Bataille’s notion of the sun — a source of light that gives not illumination but disease, corruption and waste.
