Futility as Rebirth
R. Scott MacLeay - 40 pages English language version
This book is a collection of both logical and irrational encounters and confrontations between a variety of narrative texts, poems and images that do not necessarily explore identical or even similar themes. Why this voluntary incoherence? Simply because life is not always coherent. In MacLeay’s words “I do not actively seek or expect tranquility and/or coherence in my life. I seek to explore, to discover and to understand seemingly insignificant and often incoherent everyday situations that I believe may be capable of nourishing a more comprehensive understanding of broader, more universal questions.” For the author, life is a series of non-linear narratives and although they may sometimes seem futile, carefully exploited, the situations they create may constitute opportunities, renaissance moments capable of reigniting our creative spark and of provoking the development of innovative perspectives on almost any theme.
