Perhaps bringing back the past verifies an ancient philosophy: Plato´s ideal objects, the universals, which in each class are real. Prior forms must carry on an invisible, residual life in every object. The past is latent, submerged, but still here, capable of rising to the surface once the later printing, through some unfortunate accident, vanishes. The man contains-not the body-but earlier men. But didn´t Plato think that something survived the decay and decline of forms? Something inside, not able to decay? The body ending, like Lincoln´s, and the soul-out of its nest, flown elsewhere. To be reborn again, as the Tibetan Book of the Dead says. (Text by Yosi Wanunu)
