Who’s afraid of rrreality? – von Jackie Grassmann
Wir lieben es die Welt in gegensätzliche Hälften zu teilen. Märchen – Wahrheit, Apfel – Birne, Mann – Frau, Body – Mind, Logos – Irrsinn, Henne – Ei. You name it! Sie sind gar nicht so leicht loszuwerden. Die Binaritäten leben weiter, ziehen als Zombies durch die Augen der Betrachter:innen. Sie bilden das Schnittmuster unserer selbstgefertigten Schablonen, durch deren Schlitze wir die Welt betrachten. Solange Signifikat und Signifikant ihre Füße noch unter meinen Tisch strecken, herrscht Ordnung, donnert die Realität.
Doch Materie und Repräsentation haben sich nicht unter dem Banner der Realität fesseln lassen. Sie haben die Ketten von erstarrtem Wissen gesprengt und sind ausgerissen. Sie haben Zuflucht in den Bildern gefunden, sind hier flüssig und weich. Lassen wir unsere visuellen Zungen um die Grenzen unseres eigenen Ichs fahren, die von Bildern und allen Symbolen, ihren Formen, welche wir voreilig wieder-erkennen zu glauben. Wir flirten mit dem Bild! Fixieren es mit den Lippen leicht geöffnet. Starrt die Leinwand zurück? Es halluziniert!
Realität und Paranoia schließen sich nicht aus, sie sind zwei Aspekte einer intimen Beziehung zwischen Subjekt und Objekt im Rollentausch. Was bringt’s, ob’s wahr ist, was wir sehen? Ist’s nicht viel wichtiger zu fragen, was diese Realität, diese behauptete Wahrheit, mit uns macht? Welche Welt wir mit ihr schaffen wollen?
Ein Simulacrum ist ein Symbol, das verloren oder nie besessen hat, was es in der Welt der Dinge, der „Realität“, eigentlich bezeichnen soll. Ein Verweis auf sich selbst genügt ihm ganz und gar. Die Realität spaltet sich in ihre Einzelteile, wird viele, wird nichts, und dann alles simultan. Auch die Form fängt an zu schmelzen, und dreht frech an den Zeigern der Zeit, den Dimensionen des Raumes, den Gesetzen der Farblichkeit. Ritzen der Multiplikation tun sich auf, aus ihnen quillt zart der Treibstoff für Metamorphose und Veränderung: Differenz, Dissonanz und Streitbarkeit. Das Andere wartet nicht im Außen, sondern sitzt immer schon in uns, wenn auch im verborgensten Eck. Wenn wir die Beziehung zwischen Selbst und Außen nur aufmerksam genug betrachten, wird alles hydro-logisch, fluide Perspektivität. Aus dieser magischen Suppe der Betrachtung wächst vielleicht eine Realität, die realer ist als diese selbst: Welcome to rrreality.
