Fictioneering rogues, or the end of the artist
Strobech finds himself suspended in a network of fictions somewhere between Cervantes鈥� happy fantasy Don Quixote and the modern painful versions of the fable of 鈥渕en and women seized and condemned by passion for the book and the will to live this passion鈥� (Ranci猫re). By enacting mortifying fictional plots Strobech seeks to annihilate prosaic reality (mortification being a key non-refutable wager). 鈥擳hus Strobech is determined to substitute the prevalent standards of utility and philistinism with the measure of greatness. Viewed from an emancipatory perspective, the research seeks to ascertain whether efficacy lies in the fictions/actions as they are enacted in the real, whether it鈥檚 all in the telling鈥攖he post event archival work鈥攐r whether it is all a massive failure (personal).
