hole theory in relation to minimalism/consumerism... there is more allure to having a package on the way than there is to having the thing u ordered. we do not /stop/ wanting the things we want when we have them so we can never truly "have" them. it's not about the Not Having of wanting it's about the Wanting of wanting it's a hole not a tunnel there isn't a finity to it we always hope the beloved will be in the other room and we hope to miss them would our arms not go limp if holding the beloved could ever satisfy the wanting of it
the hole is proof of presence by its absence. lack presupposes existence. ‘if I show you a piece of paper with a puncture stabbed through you’re not going to be thinking of the paper, all you’ll imagine is what could have done the stabbing’ - @brownbearemoji. anne carosn said '[…] the desirability of the love object derives, in part, from its lack. to whom is it lacking? to the lover. if we follow the trajectory [of desire] we consistently find it tracing out this same route: it moves out from the lover toward the beloved, then ricochets back to the lover himself and the hole in him, unnoticed before. who is the subject of most love poems? not the beloved. it is that hole.' a footprint (hole) cannot exist in a reality devoid of feet and tangentially every hunger (hole) and every desire (hole) proof their own satisfaction by the lack of the same. human bodies simply have too many holes in them. to achieve equipartition we must strive to fill them - breath to fill the hole of the lung, eat to fill the hole of the stomach and don’t even get me started on wombs. it’s also why toddlers stuff toys up their nose and cain ate able in this essay I will show how the mirror image is the ontological and semiotic opposite of the hole.
