Heidegger in "The age of the world-picture" reminds us that we are not limited to possessing a picture of the world; it is that the world itself is a picture. And it’s not that a picture is worth more than words, it is that words are pictures.
That is why it is so necessary to speak about their materiality, their texture, their carnality, almost as if about materials for the construction of a certain eroticism. Polyxeni Mantzou summons us to this challenge: the one of establishing spaces, which we can inhabit without having to resort to the consolations, the alleviations or the chambers of a settled language.
Maybe only then does it become possible to wrap ourselves up in words: those that practically do as much as they say; that are even more and also different from what they say; that literally designate, signify and, in their own way, construct.
