Dedicated to the Ones I Love: 3 video/performances from Brown University Interrupt Festival plus text From 'The Thunder -- Perfect Intellect': [...] For, it is I who am acquaintance: and lack of acquaintance. It is I who am reticence: and frankness. I am shameless: I am ashamed. I am strong: and I am afraid. It is I who am war: and peace. [...] It is I who am peace: And because of me war has broken out: And a an alien: and a citizen. I am riches: and she who has no riches. Those who exist because of my sexual intercourse are unacquainted with me: And it is those who reside in my wealth that are acquainted with me. Those who are nigh unto me have not recognized me: And it is those who are far away from me that have recognized me. On the day that I am nigh [unto you, you] are far away [from me]: [And] on the day that I [am far] from you, [I am nigh unto] you. [...] It is [I] who am restraint: and unrestraint. It is I who am joining: and dissolution. It is I who am persistence: And it is I who am weakening. It is I who am descent: And it is to me that people ascend. It is I who am condemnation: and pardon. As for me, I am free from sin: And the root of sin derives from me. [...] I am mute and cannot speak: And great is the multitude of my speaking. [...] (from Bentley Layton, The Gnostic Scriptures) Julu Twine inhabits me: and does not inhabit me.
