A smear of black acrylic serving as a "hard-to-open" door for Lettrist International founder, Jean Isadore Isou, whose brilliant and exhausting 1951 film--Traite de Bave et D'Eternite (A Treatise on Venom and Eternity) I had just lectured about when I made this woozy portal. Scrawled beside the drawing is a quote from Isou: "Nothing can release life from its obligation to be absolutely passionate."
