Blind Auto-Reflexivity: Dirk Braeckman’s Light on Photography

A-Prior N-7, spring / summer 2002

Suppose that there is a kind of vision which is not like ordinary vision, but a vision of itself and of other sorts of vision, and of the defect of them, which in seeing sees no colour, but only itself and other sorts of vision: Do you think that there is such a kind of vision?
– Certainly not.

– Plato, Charmides

Ce en quoi la conscience peut se retourner sur elle-même—se saisir, telle la Jeune Parque de Valéry, comme se voyant se voir—représente un escamotage.
– Jacques Lacan, Sém., livre XI

(Conversation with Dirk Braeckman)

Dirk Braeckman: z.Z(t). Ludion, Ghent / Amsterdam, 1998

Is it really the role of an artist who is still active to talk about his own motivations? As a source, he is suspect. With a view to an ‘endangered’ future, it is probably preferable that art critics, in particular, should be mistaken.

– Marcel Broodthaers, 1975

One can, one does (I do) and one has to, at times, put words into the mouth of the work and/or take them out again.
