CURVE IN DESIRE

Curving something requires an understanding of length and the point of arrival, but what remains in the line is the potential for the pull, that drawing in to draw out. The curve in desire is generative, to move beyond the city of desire, to trace toxin spaces and inhabitants in it that never become a part of the city, only remain - unarrivable.

​

The curve holds shapes of flyovers, railways, canals, sewage lines and large-small open-enclosed toxin terrains connecting and contaminating our rotating bodies. In this rotation, some parts come out of the structures of cities while remaining in the curve. This coming out or pulling, from the desire of the city, is the conceptual curve that makes a bend in thinking space and calls for new epistemic formations. Come to the practice of thinking in a new direction, that the city infrastructure is unable to reach. The curve is an image of what is untouched yet completely used, removed from vision yet everywhere, unheard yet articulating, a dent in the city where the potential of meeting the wastewater is open, along with immediate questions on equality, ecology and a new way of reading the world.
