Paradise is an agreement, a proposition. Paradise is a joke, or the simulation of a joke.
Everything is like something from another time, when jokes still functioned, and paradises still functioned, when everything still had a structure, an order, something like silence, an elegance in the chaos.
Paradise is the feeling of not missing anything and not having missed out on anything; nevertheless, the best thing about paradise is that one returns from it again, because paradise is only a projection surface behind which is another projection surface.Paradise is ravenous like the night. The next morning reveals to us that nothing disappears, nothing has disappeared, one remembers an earlier time, but not yesterday. But remembrance is no paradise, only because we make it one.
(quot. after Tex Rubinowitz, The melancholy paradise in the deafening ocean, Vienna, December 2020)
