_________________________________________________

 
As with all of Rabelais' oeuvre, this one is again a deep, fundamental semiotic intrigue - or rather, an indeterable rumble with Aporia; a looking-glass tumble down a dead-end street; a non-stop magic-lantern show with the epic dimensions of the platonic cave-parabel (or of a non-stop erotic cinema program). With only the poet's initiatory words for sustenance one steps into the looking glass - the empty frame - to fall smack in the realm of the blind, unyielding and uni-directional 'drone' of life (whether lived or googled is of no essential consequence within this realm of existence). This movement though is but the substratum of a gentler phenomenology introduced by Mathieu's vibrant search for the minute detail, for the ghost in the machine, adding a new sense of perspective: a sense of the gradual calibration of the moved to the mover. The alien mechanics perpetuating the weaving-loom finally become instances of encounter with oneself - not as in a looking glass, but in an experience of unreflected recognition.
