O—————K

Overview

The title draws on Nietzsche’s comment on modernity as an experience of radical relativization in the cosmos: 'Since Copernicus man has been rolling from the centre toward X.' I became less interested in 'X' representing nothing or negativity, and so I made it crooked, with the letter 'K.' Which brought to mind 'being OK' as a state and a goal: we are familiar with oblivion (X), we read about it every day. How to get to 'OK' is a more challenging and interesting problem. There are five em dashes between O and K — a state of abeyance, like living while holding your breath. — Vijay Masharani
