One of the most difficult aspects of my writing is to bring to language what I had experienced at the “threshold”. I have written several essays and books in this effort, all of which are available on Academia. I have drawn from a variety of literary genres or professional disciplines in order to say an impossibility: what happens when our closed system of ideas, ideologies, symbols—all of which bring meaning and order or reality to our lives is disrupted by an Other, beyond all such cultural formations breaking autonomously into our reality?
Cosmological physics and its notion of Spacetime became my focus for a while. I asked how would our perceptible world i.e., our reality, begin to appear if Spacetime itself warped or reconfigured topologically? In 2023, I visited an annual Sydney event called Sculpture by the Sea. Contemporary artists are showing us some earth-shaking possibilities in store for us as the negative background of our stable perceptible world begins to self-transform. I was so moved by this display of contemporary art that I produced this video:
The great architectural genius, Frank Gehry in my view exemplifies this kind of revelatory art on a grand scale. He has died this week at 96 years.
