STATE OF EXCEPTION
the Neue Kathedrale des erotischen Elends
Dirk Vekemans
'State of exception' started out as a creative 'digestion' of my ongoing
reading of Giorgio Agamben's Homo sacer series of books. Like all my works it
is a running process, searching for collaboration where ever possible.
Personally i call it neo-cathedralic Creative R&D, referring to my 2004
re-installment of Kurt Schwitters' Kathedrale des erotischen Elends, a merzbau
that in its current form takes both the virtual but very real network
environment and the 'real' but often very fictional world as its natural,
integrated habitat (cfr. the section about the Neue Kathedrale des erotischen
Elends' ).
Agamben's Homo sacer series starts out[1] with a meticulous analysis of the
State of Exception (other terms: 'state of emergency', 'martial law', '(under)
siege'). Within each juridical system, he explains, there exists susch a
provision whereby the sovereign power(s), in order to protect the future of the
system itself are able to temporarily or spatially limited suspend the validity
of the system itself and then proclaim the 'illegal' measures deemed necessary
for the salvation of law and order. There is (was) no civil state without a
state of exception build within it.

B I L D V E R B O T, from "Computorah"
These pictures were found in a book, "Computorah, on hidden codes in the Torah,
Dr. Moshe Katz, Jerusalem 1996". I do not know who deliberately hided the faces
from view, perhaps the person who gave it to me.
Nevertheless it is a nice example of how the phenomenon of Bildverbot is still
practised among members of orthodox circles
