Twin Peaks.3.Instruction

Cinema critique essay series:

«Remembrance, embers and membranes of beauty…

 make artists and morons lose all self-control…” (VN)

    "Don't waste your time - google will not find on your demand the  antonym for the word "perfidy"...  The sentence from a conversation in a megapolis  trolleybus.      

      We also were looking for a synonym for "perfidy" - in connection with René Magritte's "perfidy of images" - "this-is-not-a-tube". Michel Foucault didn't wait for the third season of Twin Peaks, but using his essay "It's Not a Pipe" (chapter "The Unravelled Calligram") he was able to write forward into the future - and now informs us, in essence, with a trickle of smoke from the kettle (autoclave) of Serie 8: By ambushing the thing in question twice, the calligram prepares for it the most perfect trap. Thanks to its duality, it sets the thing a calque that neither speech itself nor pure drawing can construct. The calligram eliminates the insurmountable emptiness that words themselves are unable to overcome by imposing on them, through the tricks of writing, the visible form of their references: skilfully arranged on a sheet of paper, the signs call from the outside, through the cutting of their mass on the empty space of the page. But in return, the visible form turns out to be corroded by writing, by words… A double trap; an inescapable trap: how to escape from it.

     As Naomi Watts said at the last comic-con: "If David Lynch calls you, say Yes. Agree with everything. Even with a costume of a bunny." In essence, David Lynch is one big hat, or rather, a self-hat: both magician and hat in one personality. Everyone else is a bunny.

     1.   The whole narrative is like a calligram.

     2.   Social-historical surrealism.

The Empire of Light lights off at a petrol station run by smoky people who weren't given a light in time.

Political surrealism.

     3.   The disconcerting arrogance of dramaturgy - like the unpredictable behaviour of stem cells.

     4.   The implied presence of "antiquity" (pra-world) - in the form of a wandering  portraits from  classic black and white cinema.       Dramatic "noir." The Marx Brothers in several incarnations.        Disney characters also wander through the series.

     5. "The Kettle" refers - not without fondness - to Russell's "Kettle" (The burden of proof is on the believers, not on  the doubters.).
