Sans the Construct

Sans the Construct by A. A. Walker published in AGON Journal Issue One

‘AGON does not stand or remain for anything but is birthed from struggles of such violence that do not mirror but are the embodiment of the intimate cruelty of Eros — this form of agony so pleasurable it tortures; a torture which, in its turn, produces the rupture from which bursts new life. AGON must be, must contain within itself, must become pregnant with and ceaselessly deliver nothing but itself; itself inasmuch as this self steals into, latches onto, and becomes everything else, and thus affects a profusion of selves from the explosion of the one; the movement from one to zero to produce the many, the innumerable.’
