Against Narrative |
All beginnings begin with a fragment. |
The fragment has no beginning or ending—from one fragment to another, it continues. |
The unstory of the fragment: No once-upon-a-time, no the-end, no story—just ceaseless folding and unfolding. |
No science can measure nor any story tell the fragment’s endless turns and returnings. |
The story counts and recounts; the fragment, uncountable, is one and many. |
On one side the finished image, on the other the closed narrative—enemies of the fragment. |
The fragment tells what no story can tell. |
Replete without being complete, the fragment embraces the silenced stranger. |
In the silence between fragments, a voice emerges. Immemorial polyphony. |
Beyond all the words I know and do not know, beyond all the signs and silences, the fragment sings its signless song. |
