[warning] the drive, look how pretty it is it's happened that i've pushed this work into obscene discomfort, what were they in abu gharayb, what were they in the beheadings, the darfur killings, the rapes, the slaughter, what's the sex in it, what's sexy about it, what's the desire, what's the impetus. i have nightmares, don't we all, see these things in them, there's something in control, in broken things, something pushing us to our limits, and their bodies past their limits towards death. in spite of the stereotypes, these horrors emerged, calling us in, making us complicit, highway accident gawkers, kick the corpse, take the teeth, the ear, the prick. in war everything from bullet to cock impales, and these are my war, sloughing them out to you with all the power seduction can offer when the result is murder and murder alone. then to remember these aren't bodies but polygons, nodes, but structures that like skin bear witness to years of violence. this is what people do to each other, look how pretty it is.
