Zabriskie points - A cartography of fragments "The microcosm of these worlds of images is fragmented and gives expression to the pleasure in a continual dehierarchization of its objects. Everything is in a state of flux, caught in processes of metamorphosis. The malleability of the reality stored in the image is celebrated sensuously and the transformation of all visible phenomena is declared to be the sole constant. The pull of the fragment unfolds a startling appeal and suggests the beauty of ever new, unstable compounds. The elements enter into new relations, each particle can become an attractor and radiate a force field which holds the embedded graphic particle right up to the periphery. Relations act at a distance, everything is connected with everything else, but the family relations remain extremely distanced. A segment of a circle leads, on a long leash, a black scribble which approaches an orange patch of colour which in turn had its analogue origin in the medical image of a blood test."
