The wall is a mirror (Raoul Vaneigem)
The philosopher Raoul Vaneigem, one of the most prominent members of the Situationist International – along with Guy Debord, among others – wrote a text for the film and for filmmaker Keywan Karimi.
To Keywan Karimi
The wall is a mirror.
A mirror of the house, of the city, of the world.
Reflections of every shape and form stream by it as clouds do in the sky.
We have learned to go through the mirror so what was closed will open up.
The freedom of the walls breaks down the prison walls.
When reality is unveiled, dreams become reality.
Under the clothing of creeds and of ideas, what is lived is always bare.
Then nothing more conceals a human being from himself.
Someday the walls will have the transparency of our desires.
Raoul Vaneigem
