Solve et Coagula - (dissolve & combine)

The known world

the places we understand, the way things are done, assumed notions. These ideas that we use to navigate ourselves from the waking moment to the end when we exit the day world and enter that other place. The idea is that all this can be worked on, as in made to corrode or dissolve, make rusty until ultimate collapse. Fictions can be introduced, fake tomes unearthed, of course you don't know they are fake, yet or maybe never will. This secret knowledge once disclosed and disseminated then goes to work, floats through the air like spores. only a shadowy cabal control the production of these volumes, when and where you can find them, strategically placed in obscure antiquarian book stores on long forgotten streets deep in London or New York City, occasional volumes appear in auction houses. the text pertains to a forgotten civilisation , there is moral philosophy, long lyric poems, etchings the like of which have never been scene, completely out of step with the timeline of art history as you were taught it. Fancy that, a society of contentment and idealism and artistic purity, not a utopia, a place that really existed.
