There are bodies that become territory. Marina Abramović transforms hers into this unstable place, where the spectator finds not just an artist, but a field of tension. Each gesture repeated to its limit, each silence prolonged to exhaustion, each immobility that forces the other to decide how to act. Nothing is ready or assured: the

We live in a time when the gaze is no longer human. Cameras, satellites, and algorithms observe gestures, anticipate desires, and archive lives. The subject is no longer a presence, but data.

Reading Les Chants de Maldoror is like entering a laboratory where literature tests the limits of form and meaning. Isidore Ducasse, writing as the Count of Lautréamont, composed six cantos that function as an experiment in language and perception. The narrative fragments, the narrator shifts shape, and morality is confronted without disguise. Instead of a
