If Bruegel had painted a bibliotheque as a
Tesseract, Escher could borrow as many books
As he required, and Dewey Decimal is
Interdimensional, proximal, distal, where
Knowledge distilled is in several trillion
Volumes of copious facts and ephemera,
Fictions, mythologies, cookbooks and Bibles, and
Technical guidebooks that go on forever.
Peel slowly and see your own reflection.
What is there when you pull the curtain back?
In this tesseract of tales, every shelf a new dimension,
Where the laws of physics bow to literary invention.
Dewey Decimal, now a map to navigate
The stars, guiding seekers through time and space.

Take a newspaper
Take a pair of scissors
Choose an article
Cut out the article
Cut out each word
Put them in a bag
Shake it gently
Take out the scraps
One after another
Copy conscientiously
The poem will be like you
And here you are a writer

Jean Marais
Dips his hand
Into the mercury
Later on he'll be ill
But for now
Sinks into
Other place
Obviously Orpheus
Don't look back
For you'll see
Jean Marais
Sink into mercury
If you put a hat upon your head
You're bound lose your mind
You're bound lose your mind
I'll meet you underground
I'll meet you underground

I am a camera obscura
I am the eye before
night's chamber
where reality inverts
and you can see
the upside down birds
the afternoon moon
and all the dust
falling out of the chimney pots
into the sky
and painting dusk
a lullaby
One and one
takes no-one to
tango
the
eye of the camera
will never let
a man go.
One and one
makes new
not two
and that is why
you see
all art
is alchemy

People Like Us London, UK
Since 1991, Vicki Bennett has been repurposing pre-existing footage to craft a/v collages, seeing sampling as folk art in the age of mechanical reproduction, with all of the sharing and cross-referencing incumbent to a populist form. Embedded in her work is the premise that all is interconnected and that claiming ownership of an “original” or isolated concept is both preposterous and redundant. ... more
