Poséidon, ne les redoute pas. Tu ne les trouveras pas sur ton trajet Si ta pensée demeure sereine, si seuls de purs Émois effleurent ton âme et ton corps. Les Lestrygons et les Cyclopes, Les violences de Poséidon, tu ne les verras pas A moins de les receler en toi-même Ou à moins que ton âme ne les dresse devant toi. Souhaite que dure le voyage. Que nombreux soient les matins d'été où Avec quelle ferveur et quelle délectation Tu aborderas à des ports inconnus ! Arrête-toi aux comptoirs phéniciens Acquiers-y de belles marchandises Nacres, coraux, ambres et ébènes Et toutes sortes d'entêtants parfums - Le plus possible d'entêtants parfums, Visite aussi les nombreuses cités de l'Égypte Pour t'y instruire, t'y initier auprès des sages. Et surtout n 'oublie pas Ithaque. Y parvenir est ton unique but. Mais ne presse pas ton voyage Prolonge-le le plus longtemps possible Et n'atteint l'île quune fois vieux, Riche de tous les gains de ton voyage, Tu n auras plus besoin qu'Ithaque t'enrichisse. Ithaque t'a accordé le beau voyage, Sans- elle, tu ne serais jamais parti. Elle n'a rien d'autre à te donner. Et si pauvre quelle te paraisse Ithaque ne t'aura pas trompé. Sage et riche de tant d'acquis, Tu auras compris ce que signifient les Ithaques. Poème de Constantin Cavafy écrit à Alexandrie en 1911.
Chapter 1: Draw the line
Before entering this new world, Edward goes to his psychotherapist.
Voix off - This time, I would like you to draw a line, simple as that. Edgar - I am taking a ruler and trace an exact distance from the midpoint I am coming to the midpoint I am going to. Lise - I decide to draw it, but it would be more a spline, what s the point of reaching B straight away. Jérome - I draw a circle, and turn it around, and around, and around. Louis - What is the purpose of the line? Is it a limit? Voix off - No. it's just a line, you can decide its purpose. Edgar - Able to do it in three dimensions? Voix off - No it is going to design a wall, society got already enough. Jérome - and a pyramid, the line could be continuous and forwarded to three dimensions? Voix off - That's a good point, but no, we've got to keep it simple: Draw the line and mind the gap. Lise - Can we write on the line? Voix off - Yep, if the line is not getting discontinuous. Lise - Nobody will understand it though, Space between is what understanding needs. Voix off - I don't decide, I just put the frame in place Edgar - Ok, let's get it fun, I am using nine different pens, of nine different width, and nine different colors. Voix off - Here we come, it starts to be interesting. Jérome - and why nine? Edgar - the number of pages I would need to draw it on Jérome - Why? Edgar - For an SOS, gathering three points of suspension. I don't understand the rules. By folding three of them carefully I can draw a straight line on each and get a nice recognizable SOS to understand why we do need to draw a line. I am happy about it, but I don't understand it. Lise - and on what kind of support are we drawing that? Jérome - yes, very true, could be the ground, a wall, an imaginary space, a body, a TV screen. Voix off - your choice. Lise - Ok if we are going this way, I am drawing a white line on a white support paper. Jérome - What's the point? Lise - There is no point, just a line. Jérome - yes, Ok, Thanks. What's the meaning of it? Lise - I leave to the imagination of the reader to interpret what he sees. Jérome - so ok, a white piece of paper Lise - Malevich did that all right and attract a lot. Jérome - so you decide to take the subject further. You must be an artist. Lise - In my spare time It is relaxing. Edgar - I am drawing a circle with twelve increments. Lise - yep, that would be a clock with no pins. Meaning time is tasteless and offers total freedom.
