Slavoj Zizek about "Come to Daddy" by Aphex Twin
·
1: "Nightmare is not simply horror, not simply anxiety, not simply
tension. in the nightmare there is always an ambiguity of border-crossing, of
externalisation, where you meet an object that emerges from your deepest inside."
·
2: "let's take an object like saliva in your mouth: it's not
disgusting/horrible, you can swallow it, no problem.
·
3: "to generalize this: now imagine on the same level your most secret
objects of your fantasies, your most secret dreams, by which your whole psychic
identity is structured. But precisely because they are so known/intimate to
you, you don't dare to confront them directly. So this is precisely
what you do confront in a nightmare."
·
4: "this tv-set not simply becomes alive, that would be too primitive.
instead of this the SCREEN becomes alive and a creature emerges and steps out into
our reality."
·
5: "in our daily life we have a clear distinction between the screen we
are projecting our fantasies on and the reality. the horror consists here again
in crossing the limit - in both ways."
·
6: "because - let me put it here in clear terms: what is
happening on the screen? the screen in a way is the realm of the undead. i
think, the primordial experience of the screen is the experience of some kind
of ghost-realm. what we see on the screen is always some kind of undead,
ghost-like life. but the horror arises not until this border, that sperates us
from the screen, is transgressed."
