Example text
There was Hölderlin, that’s all, and to me he wasn’t a German romantic. No. It was something much more specific, dazzling in its own way. I know German romanticism very well, I have read a lot of it, but it wasn’t for me. In my view Hölderlin wasn’t romantic at all. He was mythical. He was rather in the line of Schopenhauer, Nietzsche and writers like that. So it is not German romanticism, this is not what inspired me, it is too subjective, too romantic, too sentimental, so let’s not get things mixed up.
I’ve only had it for the past two or three years. Before, I didn’t want the damn thing. I would see it by proxy, at my mother’s, or in friends’ houses: it wasn’t my choice. And then I was asked to do something on television with Raul Ruiz about simulacres. He wanted to do a satire on television documentaries and soap operas, and I said to myself, ‘After all, it really would be idiotic never to have seen them! ’ And once I had it, I found I liked having it. But I use it in a very random sort of way.
There is no beyond in the sense of the future but rather a curvature towards… which is worse in that sense. I can no longer recognize myself in this because my wager has been one of anticipation even if it meant making a leap, going forward beyond the year 2000; what I had proposed was erasing the 1990s and going straight on to the year 2000, to play the game on the other side through excess rather than lack. Postmodernism seems to me to do with being resigned, or even largely to do with regression.
