A mythology of Dada Saheb Phalke

In which we keep time in years, each year like a woman's saree, gathering so much into its pleats. Each year aware that it is a lie, seeking to do what electronic eyes try to do in factories, seeking to be wakeful to everywhere at once, seeking to name the everywheres. Each year is a gathering of eyes thrown over the waters of consciousness of which we know little, except that they are and they torture us. We seek nets like memory, like listing years, like giving dates, like photographs... imagining we can keep some of that consciousness outside of us, that we can share them..children of our consciousness, they seek to get up and multiply and make new stories. Our projectors keep whirring.

We start out work with an invocation to her who sits on the lotus and listens to our recordings

The Black Book

The very vanity of the enterprise, when it finally makes me move, pulls me in further, and me and me and me. Like a large gathering of locusts, we scatter, making a new sky
