Répliques

- It's the future, Ballard, and you're already part of it. For the first time, a benevolent psychopathology beckons towards us. For example, the car crash is a fertilizing rather than a destructive event -- a liberation of sexual energy that mediates the sexuality of those who have died with an intensity impossible in any other form. To fully understand that, and to live that... that is my project.

- I've always wanted to drive a crashed car.

- You could get your wish at any moment.

- No, I mean a crash with a history. Camus's Facel Vega, or Nathaniel West's station wagon, Grace Kelly's Rover 3500. Fix it just enough to get it rolling. Don't clean it, don't touch anything else.

- What exactly is your project, Vaughan ? An album of car crashes ? A medical study ? A sensational documentary ? Global traffic ?

- It's something we're all intimately involved in : the reshaping of the human body by modern technology.
