Psychological color of my sacred. I place the accent on the forbidden, the taboo, the reserved. Attitude of refusal, of folding in on the self. I need a sacred, but -- for lack of virility -- I make of it a circumscribed, separate domain, impossible to penetrate. Negative idea of purity. Always nostalgia -- constructed in the object of desire, or of regret -- never passion, which tends to seize, leading to the destruction of the desiring subject or desired object. Position of witness: he who places himself -- fearfully or respectfully -- at the edge, but on the outside of, the sacred.
