PLOT
In the spring of 2022, both the nearby war and the distant war forced me to pause my ongoing work to respond to them—to respond to both at the same time, even treating them as one and the same. Beyond the economy, reality itself has also become globalised. Reality is both accelerated and compressed, shortening the distance between us. This is the sympathetic geology of reality—resonance at a distance, quantum entanglement, remote reverberation. A fundamentally identical force is increasingly twisting the Earth together, violently and suffocatingly. You can see yourself in someone else’s reality. Everything that happened in the spring of 2022 echoed that old cliché: Do not ask for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee.
