Meet "No Face"

Little Chihiro's Journey Along Kaonashi's Trail.

বিদ্রোহের ভাইরাস

Is our Past free of the Present? Was our Present free of the Past? Will our Future be free of the Present??

 

How would you balance the words Principles and Politics? Individuals and groups? Diversities and similarities? Order and freedom? Rebellion and Government? & The term POWER???

 

Where do we draw the line between freedom and anarchy? Power and Order? Anarchy and Power? Order and freedom?

 

What is the difference between hypocrisy and doublethink: Denial or Acceptance?

 

Is it possible to seize the power only to relinquish it later?

Since when has history stopped?

 

Isn’t history always rewritten, recounted, and established by the conqueror? How many times?

Are survivors and conquerors the same thing? Even if the survivors struggle to exist and share their version of the truth, will they be able to give it an objective reality? How much subjectivity will those survivors exhibit?

 

More importantly, will the audience be rational enough to derive objective lessons from it? Will our objective learning be free of subjectivity, System 1 biases, and System 2 experiences? 

 

Are we all certified to maintain an “Acceptable” balance between Kahenman's Systems 1 and 2? Is this certification necessary? “Acceptable” on what ground? Are adjectives reliable enough to be trusted?

 

Further still, certified in what context? Will it be auto-generated? Like an AI developed by humans with presumptions?

 

So you're self-conscious and rebellious? And, Beliefs and Ideas emerge from a fiery rebellious chant; where is the self-awareness now? 

 

For that day we all must labor,

Though we die before it breaks;

Cows and horses, geese and turkeys,

All must toil for freedom's sake.

 

And, the promised Seven Commandments?

 

Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.

Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.

No animal shall wear clothes.

No animal shall sleep in a bed.

No animal shall drink alcohol.

No animal shall kill any other animal.

All animals are equal.

​​As The Spirit Keeper had noticed a significant amount of Raised Spirits, Violence, Deaths, Emotions, Sentiments, Shape-shifters, Con artists, and Indifferences surrounding the worlds she floats in, she almost rescued herself from falling into this hypnotic trance over the last few weeks.

 

Naturally, many questions flooded her little head, and she didn't have the answers; perhaps only the Big & Great Head did. 

 

The sin of this Spirit Keeper is that she is never completely sure of any “Right” & “Heroism” conversely she can only be sure of a momentary “Wrong”.

Again, it’s not her place to say “What is wrong or not?”

Because she’s just a keeper of Art. Her only job is to keep everything in its momentary form.

Her mentor Tarkovsky once said, “If you look for meaning, you’ll miss everything that happens.”

 

So, she bypassed the Police Captain’s sermon to mysterious Irimiás about the Value of the Order in the apocalyptic film “Sátántangó” made by the Tarr that still haunts her senses … 

 

(“Maintaining Order may seem to be the responsibility of the authorities. But, lately, the order is the business of people”- Police Captain To Irimiás about the value of the Order )

 

The Keeper has no words ending with "ism" in her dictionary. She is fully aware that if she gives birth to one concept and idea, the opposite idea will instantly shift to unknown pages of her nearly torn-apart dictionary. 

 

If people create rules to obey, there will always be people who will look for loopholes in those rules to disobey. Every Yin must come with a Yang. The keeper's job is to accept both Yin & Yang in her art.

 

The keeper cares about the Estike. She does not want Estike to suffer while others are caught dancing in a hypnotic catatonia.

 

At the same time, she has no idea who is responsible for Estike’s suffering. Are they the same person responsible for her death?? Was Estike even responsible for murdering her cat??

 

The Keeper doesn’t have answers. She only recalls the dramatic speech of Irimiás who embodied the two contradictory qualities of Order and Freedom (System & Revolution). To understand Irimiás she needs to embrace the unknown, the senseless, and nothing. 

 

So, I asked the Keeper, “What do you see? Is it progress or regress? “

 

The Keeper said, “It is both. It's Tango.” 


NB: The Keeper wanted to publish two photos with these titles,

“কিছু ভুল রঙের ফুল, ফুটে আছে রাজ পথে” & “ক্ষমাহীন প্রান্তর জুড়ে আমাদের বেঁচে থাকা”.

Yet, she decided not to fall into Reductio Ad Absurdum by assigning such titles, which could jeopardize the objectivity of her purposes. 

 

When The Spirit Keeper was busy collecting those Young Lifted Spirit, the only thing that largely occupied her mind was মানুষ ভজলে সোনার মানুষ হবি” a song of Lalon.
