about
métAMOURphose is «resonant and porous... incandescent and undivided». Like the androgynous mind and the nonbinary Self. Virginia Woolf knew it. métAMOURphose is a cut-up of speaking transitions.
The first draft of this track was created in Spring 2020 for ΜΕΤΑΜΌΡΦΩΣΙΣ – MÉTAMORPHOSIS. Fleurs Mâles & Arbres Féminins: a call organized by Laury-Nuria André (Le Cabinet d'Iris). This artwork is the definitive version and accompanies the photo book métAMOURphose. Je n'ai pas peur de ceux qui veulent me faire peur (Lotta di Classico, 2021).

lyrics
In mulieris figuram est conuersus.
Hyginus mythographus, Genealogiae, LXXV (Tiresias)
Puerum Sporum exsectis testibus etiam in muliebrem naturam
transfigurare conatus cum dote et... ad se pro uxore habuit.
Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus, De vita Caesarum (VI: Nero)
Nostro peccato fu ermafrodito
Dante, Purgatorio XXVI
The truth is, a great mind must be androgynous.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Specimens of the Table Talk
(September 1st, 1832)
J’ai retrouvé ma troupe ardente
IL EST GRAND TEMPS DE RALLUMER LES ÉTOILES
Guillaume Apollinaire, Les Mamelles de Tirésias, prologue
The androgynous mind is resonant and porous...
It is naturally creative, incandescent and undivided.
Virginia Woolf, A Room of One's Own (Six)
Il l'aime parce qu'elle le métamorphose.
Joë Bousquet, L'oeuvre de la nuit
garantito visionario Filius Hermaphroditus...
lasciati vivere
lascia che la vita scorra sopra di te
Edoardo Sanguineti, Laborintus, 4
Questo discorso può scandalizzare molti.
Perché mi travesto? Mi travesto perché mi piace
Mario Mieli, intervista RAI (1977)
I write my identity on the stave, to solve in harmony
my dissonancephoria.
I write my identity in love -
a silken wing spread out of a courtain.
J'écris mon identité sur le pentagramme, c'est dissoudre en harmonie
ma dissonancephorie.
J'écris mon identité dans l'amour -
une aile soyeuse déployée hors d'un rideau.
Prophet Tiresias, not a prophet yet, walks through the trees with his
cane, when he sees two mating loving snakes. He separates them, for
reasons he only knows, not even known by the myths. He separates them by killing the female reptile, and immediately turning his skin into
the dead's one. Becoming a female being...
7 years in the opposite body, a duality beyond every limit. Then the reptile circle closing, same scene and another death. The male body has returned to the human...
The double transition who knows as many things as 2 gods
together, because Tiresias loved with the pleasures of 2 bodies. "Nine
parts out of ten are the woman's" he sentenced about orgasm, and Era
raged for the revealed secret.
Tiresias who lived and felt everything will just go on living the span of 7 generations, and feeling the thoughts of Apollo with his mind's eye, and feeling through four of his senses, will keep knowing through body, will be seeing no more.
