2: The Indomitable Gaze of the Other
The cartel travels into the near-far to find new technologies of remapping the body, so that it might manifest the invisible rather than merely make visible.
The Indomitable Gaze of the Other
The visible is foregrounded by an obscured background, so that revealing relies on what can't be seen for its presentation. But can the darkness appear in its invisibility without reducing it to the merely visible?
4. The Unknowable Is the Ground of Whatever Is Known
