Fragmentary Opposition (1970)

We seek to supersede the following elements: the organization of appearances as a spectacle where everyone denies himself; the separation on which private life is based, since it is there that the objective separation between proprietor and dispossessed is lived and reflected at every level; and sacrifice. The three are obviously interdependent, as are their opposites: participation, founded on the passion of play; communication, founded on the passion of love; and realization, founded on the passion to create.

The dance of these inseparable projects, floating free, continually changing, founds the revolutionary project. The dance realizes itself in its own supersession, in the sublime movement of subversion where the pirouette returns to itself not as itself but reconceived in a limitless perspective. Subversion devalues each originally individual element as the organization of a new significant whole confers on each element a new meaning. Subversion is the only language, the only gesture, that has within it its own critique; its force is pleasure seeking itself.
