"OBJECT LESSONS" "Here, a bed" "No, this is not a bed, it's a table" "A table?" "A particular table, it's an editing table" "What is "editing"?" "Editing is to edit." "You edit something with something else" "The day with the night" "Here, a man, a woman." "A man with a woman" "In the cinema, there are special tables, these are editing tables" "In French, there is a different word, they say mounting for editing" "An editing table, they say "table de montage"" "Editing, it's like an editor?" "Yes, to publish a book, an editor pulls out letters from the alphabet" "And then, he sticks them on paper" "There are other tables, there are multiplication tables" "Table 2, table 3, table 4" "So, a table" "Yes, a table" "Here, a baby now" "No, a war prisoner" "What do you tell?" "Yes, this is a war prisonner, even if it's a civil war" "A prisonner, there'd be a jail, walls, bars, a fence" "Tomorrow" "What, tomorrow?" "Yes tomorrow, he'll be behind the fence" "Well, he won't be there all the time" "This is not a military war, this is a civil war" "When he'll grow up, he won't be there anymore" "For adults, yesterday is not tomorrow" "What, yesterday?" "You piss me off, he wasn't born yesterday" "His parents were, and in a camp" "Yesterday, it was still the military war" "Everybody wasn't in concentration camps" "Yes, but those who weren't inside were necessarily outside" "So what?" "You'll understand." "Watch those who are watching us" "They are seeing us behind fences which are front of them" "Even from outside to inside, when we strike the hour, there is often a step" "Yes, a war prisonner" "A political exile, in any case" "The market place?" "The fire place" "What are you telling again?" "I don't tell, I watch what's happening" "What's happening there?" "A fire that burns prices" "I don't see anything burning" "That isn't sure, I think there are poors burning with envy to buy these goods" "And it makes a funny fire, these nurning prices extinguish the envy that burns poors like a cold shower" "If it's a fire, when it is extinguished, there'll be ashes" "In the mouth of people" "Oh, a river" "No, a long story" "I'd like to have a dog" "What makes you say that?" "Well, there, the guy with his dog" "Where do you see a guy with his dog?" "There is a transmitter and a receiver communicating with a wire" "So, a phone 2 phones" "Well, this is a factory" "No, this is a porn movie" "How so?" "Because there are movements from love" "Yes, but love is not there" "No, work killed it" "Hmm... a whiting" "No, it's the capitalist system" "Go on, go on" "As any human body, capitalism is an animal that needs to grow up" "That's an animal that needs to grow up, to devour everything non-stop" "Space, time, ever further, ever stronger, beyond the possible" "But if it grows up, it ends up losing sight, he no longer knows where is the beginning and the end" "So maybe it will change for him" "But capitalism doesn't want to change, it hates change, it always want to stay the same" "This famous problem of identity, he wants to be something else and stay the same at once" "So it eats its tail from behind to be sure not to grow up in front" "But it doesn't even eat itself too fast, because it mustn't reduce" "Because its aim is to grow up, to have more, ever more, without changing anything" "That seems an absolutely impossible challenge" "But in the capitalist system, we live the impossible" "It'd be easier to live the possible" "How will it be called when it'll be easier?" "Maybe it won't be called" "An electric bulb" "No, a dream" "That's not very normal to talk like that" "No, but it changes a little" "What does it change?" "A table" "A war prisonner" "Or a political exile" "A violent fire" "A story, a long story, Scheherazade" "2 phone calls" "A porn movie permitted for everybody" "The capitalist system" "A dream" "Well, i don't know, that's not very normal to talk like that" "No, but it changes a little" "What does it change?" "The change, poor apple" "An apple, now" "No, a factory" "What does it change to talk like that?" "I've just said you, it will change the change" "What's the change?" "Don't you want to answer?" "Can you ask again the question?" "What's the change, in your opinion?" "In this sentence, what's the important, in your opinion?" "No" "I don't think, the important is not "what", it's "it's not"" "What, 'it's not'?" "I will try to talk like you, right?" "Human beings" "A river" "The countryside" "The bank account" "Watch, human beings" "The only thing: they have money or they haven't" "The important thing: to have" "A river, a story that happens." "The important thing: it has a flow" "Or it has a credit, to have holidays" "Irrigated" "The important thing: to have." "To be, after" "The countryside, well, there's the sun" "Or it rains, there is good weather" "The important thing: to have." "First, to have" "A bank account, it's still better" "There are assets, and the sum of this assets is your credit" "First, there is "to have": to have money" "And then, "to be": to have money and to be rich" "The important thing: to have, first" "Then, to be, secondly" "We still argued like that with Paulo for 2 or 3 hours" "He called that work" "I was not against that" "At a time, he rose and he went to ask if the Marseilles express, which was 365 days late, was coming or not" "I stay alone a time" "I thought" "For example, this story of total that he talked about" "He took the example of a bank account" "He said: "If you have nothing in bank, what do you have for total?"" "Zero, I said" " So what happens?" " Well, I am pissed off" "The proof is the being come after the having" "You find yourself pissed off, you locate yourself in a place" "And then, where led you a series of things that have held" "That Have Held" "That have been in places, and then all these places make a total" "Then, when this total is zero, you say "I am", "I am pissed off"" "Maybe more simply, zero, it sums up the situation, that's what I mean" "I'm pissed off, I sum up the situation like that" "But Paulo doesn't give up easily" "He asked me if I thought that a situation can be sumed up" "Well, I said "Yes, this is the proof"" "And then, I'm pissed off because this zero corresponds to another situation" "It's because the other day, I had a row with my boss and he dismissed me" "And today, I have zero in bank" " You find yourself at the door, Paulo said me." " Well, yes, to sum up, I have no work anymore" "It summarizes a situation" "Paulo said me: "You wanted to come back to change and I said you that it is the change that will come back to you"" "Here, we are arguing about a thing that comes back to you, to your memory" "And we'll be able to see the change a little, we can't talk about it in the abstract" "So, you were behind the door?" "he said" "Well, actualy, I found myself front the door" "Yes, it is the change" "Where do you see the change?" "he said" "The change is not where you think" "You say there is change, because from behind, you found yourself to front" "But when you go to the factory, you are sad, because you are behind the door" "And here, from behind, you go front the door, and you are sad too" "And you said me: "There is no change, because I'm still sad"" "But you feel a huge change" "So when you go in behind the door of the factory, in the morning" "You are sad, because you love your work." "Then, you're happy because you will find yourself front the door, but later" "During the day, there's a change." "In the morning, you are sad front" "And in the evening, you're happy front." "It's the change" "So it's relative to that, that you must see the change" "Sad and sad, on both sides of the factory, it changed relative to a sad-happy that happens normally" " A medium sad-happy, I said" " Ok, but the change is here" "Here, you are sad to no longer be front the door, all the day" "But at least, when you have a job, you're sad only in the morning, and happy in the evening, or the contrary if you are in a night shift." "Here is the change" "That's not front or behind" "There is a mouvement, but not where you thought." "That's what changed" "Anyway, I said "I have no longer work", and Paulo said me that these are not things to say" "How's that, "not things to say"?" "No, you mustn't tell things that the speech can't say" "You mustn't think things that thought can't think" "That's a bad habit that you must lose, Paulo said, going in directions that lead nowhere" "So, saying "anyway, I have no work anymore" won't help you to find one, so there's no point to say it" "But think you unemployment, how it is produced" "How it is produced, but also how it is consumed" "When you work, you receive money" "When you don't work, today, jobless people receive money, maybe less, but they receive some" "But this money is for what job?" "Because you don't work anymore" "That's work you consume, but maybe that's the same thing than work you produce" "Or the same thing in another place" "Maybe not credited to your account, but credited to your boss" "Chile, for example, many things have been said" "This is a very civilized country to consume, very european, in a continent which is not european at all" "Transistors, fridges, cars" "But very primitve to produce." "They couldn't produce a match, a wire" "Like with an elastic." "Civilized-primitive." "When you stretch an elastic, it holds." "Then, if you stretch it too much..." "Then, in a moment, as you are too primitive to produce and more and more civilized to consume" "You are less and less able to produce a wire, you are more and more able to drive cars or to listen rock music on your transistor" "Transistor ITT, they know how to produce, don't they?" "Well, what happens is that it cracks." "And when it cracks, that's easy to take power" "So, production-consumption, that's what is between" "From mouth to stomach, from mouth to sex." "Maybe there is stomach, between mouth and sex" "And in the stomach, we ruminate" "You can ruminate grass or dark thoughts" "But actually you make the mouth and the stomach communicate - the production and the consumption" "Paulo wasn't yet back and I drank my 123rd coffee" "Waiting, I thought again to a story of this guy" "By the wayside, his driver is changing a wheel of his car" "Then, he waits" "He is a guy who doesn't know where to go, he doesn't know anymore" "He doesn't know where he goes, he doesn't know yet" "But he's not very impatient that the wheel is changed" "Paulo had a system, for sure" "He thought to the things" "Or he lets things reflect on him" "And you could see it on his face, that was a place of passage, never very happy, but never very sad" "He could see that there was love in labor, and that there was labor in love" "And he said we must start from here" "But if he departed from here, he couldn't come to there." "If he came there, he couldn't depart." "I don't know..." "He worked too much in the same direction." "He went to things or they came to him" "But I thought that he didn't depart" "He always spoke about 3 movements: explain to understand, and understand to transform" "But he found it hard to do all three." "He did either one or the other too well" "So he transformed but he didn't understand, or he explained but he didn't transform" "But he is absolutely unbeatable to explain" "Unbeatable soft, but unbeatable." "And unbeatable guys, they become hard" "They just do outward journeys and no return journeys, or just return and no outward" "He shouldn't have discussed with me." "That's not 2 guys that should discuss, but a guy and a girl" "It's true that girls don't have work" "Or they didn't invent their job" "Or if they invented love, it is twisted by work of the men" "It's not easy, all that" "Changing something" "Go on-go out" "Go on that changes to go out at night and that becomes go out" "But if you go on, you must find somebody to go out to meet him" "Otherwise, that's you who will go out, you will "go on" at home and "go out" to the factory" "Go out to meet me" "The revolution, yes, but who will go to its meet?" "rêve (dream)   evolution" "Sometimes, some go out" "But who come to their meet?" "Because the others haven't yet gone out" "equal" "Where and when that will happen?" "where - - when" "We don't know" "But where and when it happens" "t's possible to show it" "Seeing is not what people think" "Nor what papers say" "Here, for example, whay you have to see is that" "What there's between the two" "If you can't see that, it bristles with difficulties" "You stay here, while you want to go elsewhere" "And you can't see the relation betweere here and elsewhere" "For people, from here, they go elsewhere, it's visible" "But sometimes we must erase, to see what there is between the two" "When you erase a part, you are forced to see the other one" "You're erased in front of the others" "Actually, if you can't see that, you don't move" "Otherwise, you move, so you want to get laid" "Love should do things well, but that's what is wrong" "We said that love have no borders, but these are the borders which are interesting" "Here is a border" "There are many borders Here there is another border" "Between black and white, there are borders too" "You can see all the borders you want" "The horizon is a border" "Yet another border that comes from the horizon" "Your horizon is blocked, you know this" "But you must learn to see borders" "There are all kinds." "Here's still one that is closing" "So that's a country" "If it's a country, she is your "countrise"" "You must have a passport to cross countries." "So this is an image of a passport" "This is another passport" "This is an image of this" "And what is this?" "Don't you recognize the Potemkin?" "Yes, but this is not an image of this" "I will tell you the true story of the Potemkin" "Well, you know, they revolted on the Potemkin, they occupied the ship" "Their ship, it was a funny factory for them" "So they occupied their factory-jail, they threw their little bosses into the sea" "And then they were on their proper ship" "And they said that now others had to do the same thing where they were" "Maybe they won't have the idea We should give it to them" "So we must tell them what we did" "We have to communicate with the rest of Russia" "Well, they had no telex, no phone, so they wondered how they should do" "Because they wanted to communicate." "They had to print tracts" "This should give news of this" "So how to do?" "Since they had no telex or anything" "So they said: one of us is dead, we will sink an hold, we will bury him" "And then, we will ask the Odessa prefect the permission to bury him" "And we will tell people to come and it will demonstrate what happened" "Because people will ask why they do that" "Then, there will be a big funeral and all the people of Odessa will come" "And then, there will be an echo of that" "A huge gathering." "There will be an echo of that" "Then, it will communicate with the rest of Russia" "People will talk about it each other." "To sum up, this demonstration were the first mass communication" "Because this demonstration were a communication and it aims to represent this" "And this demonstration represented what happened" "So they had to communicate" "The prefect gave the permission" "And then, on return of the funerial, he stopped the communication" "Cossacks shot" "And it became this" "Because the communication should be stopped" "Rifles shot on the telex, on the tract, on the roneo machine, on the phone, on the TV" "Rifles shot, because they shot on what happened" "They had to stop what happened" "This was what should abort" "They had to stop news from spreading" "So they shot on the demonstration machine, the communication machine" "They shot on the means of communication" "This woman was a means of communication" "And when she received bullets, she screamed" "But her scream was something else." "It didn't represent the telex or the tract" "Because this telex or this tract had to represent this" "So, we could represent this, but not with this mouth" "Because it was joy, that was joyful cannon shots that happened" "So this scream is something else." "She doesn't represent this" "She says something else, she says: "ouch!" "I've pain"" "So, today, when there's a demonstration, it's a demonstration of pain, that's all" "This is an object-subject, there is nothing, here she doesn't attempt to communicate" "It's terrible, there's no communication" "And when those ones do this, and that they have quite the same mouth" "There's something wrong" "Because these mouths, they don't tell the same thing" "We showed what this one told, but what tell those ones?" "Union of Paris?" "But this mouth don't say "Syndicate of Paris", it says "why do they shoot on me?"" "Here, they asked the prefect the permission too, but the prefect didn't shoot them" "They could say something else" "They could say "Occupied factory", because in the occupied factory, people play cards" "They could say: "Redistribute the cards, or belote and rebelote, or three aces"" "But this is not what they say, we don't know what they say" "And this is wrong" "They could say it." "Playing card is not dumber than anything else!" "But, as communication was stopped, the Potemkin guys ended up alone" "No communication with the rest of Russia" "So they said: "Others don't do anything, they can't do anything, because they hadn't been informed"" ""We could do something, we dared to do something"" "So they drove around Black Sea, they seek asylum in every port" "Finally, they found in Bucharest, they laid up the shit and they returned to the ground" "Then, they got lost in the wilds, I think that some started playing cards" "More your banker is close, more business goes fast" "For the moment, some start up a business." "Business goes fast." "For who?" "against who?" "Good business doesn't wait" "Here, we can see something going very slowly and something going very fast" "Very fast" "Very slowly" "Very fast" "When there's the very fast and the very slowly, there must be an average" "3,000km/h in the sky and 3cm/h on the soil of Africa, that's the average" "Then, sky of Europa and America" "Here, we can see for who it goes fast." "And, in exchange, it goes slowly" "Africa goes to 3 km/h" "Because white people leaned on its forces to make machines that go very fast" "And the others are left with nothing" "In exchange of everything, they have nothing" "Their time has been stolen" "So actually, among the Whites, some are less evil" "But they still takes advange of that." "They get on a plane that go fast and they come to tan the bottom in the sun" "As these little Whites are not rich, they come for 2 or 3 weeks" "In a world that goes 3 cm/h" "And there is an average" "Then, these little Whites leave and they get on a plane" "That's a civilian plane." "There are also military planes that go still faster" "But they can go faster, because there isn't 3 cm/h below, but absolutely nothing, 0 km/h" "They recovered time" "And the others devour the space" "They devour the space to 1,000 then to 0" "But by going to 1,000 all the time, they win the race" " So?" " The Express of Marseille arrives in 8'30" " So, we will go" "At last, we will go!" " And what did you do during this time?" " I passed the time" "Time passed, on, under, near, through me." "I thought about work" "I saw things" "Did you think or did things think about you?" "Or you thought them, but there is work." " There is work" "But, there were pieces of my work that pass through your work" "Yes, your work were the past of mine" "I composed, I made composition" " You get components." " I did lectronics" " Me, I did grammar, so there was the past." " Politics" " So, now, we can do past tense (passé composé)" " Yes, we can make sentences" " Or, about sentences, I told verbs" " Me, I found coulouring, put adjectives on verbs" " Well, there were verbs, then adjectives, so now we can make sentences" " A sentence, a verb or an adjective..." " Or I launched verbs like trains" " And then, you and me were stations and schedules" " You were looking for stations, schedules, changes of schedules, so if there were train changes" "And a train iss interesting, it permits changing place" " There are those who take trains to change" " These are travelers, now we can speak about travellers" " We start being able to" " Because there is a quite simple work method that comes from work itself" "No, you're right, we can't say "why", "because"." "It's "how" between "why" and "because"" "Not cause-effect, but 2 kinds of causes, external or internal" "And then, borders between both: 3 things 1, 2, 3 that sometimes take the place of each other" "So before speaking of travelers, you should look at home what happens" "An egg" "Here you see "why", "how"." "You can't explain" "But if you say internal, external, and border between the two, you can" "Here you can see an external cause, the heat, which is external to the egg, which has internal properties, i.e. internal causes" "The relation between the two will make the egg change" "So what will change?" "There will be a huge change in the existence of the egg" "In this change, there is work, energy that will be produced" "We can look at work conditions" "So we can say that internal causes are the basis of change" "Then, internal causes, the heat, are the conditions of this change" "If there were other conditions, change couldn't happen" "If the egg stayed here, but that you put it under a hen, so that you made other conditions of change" "It would become a hen, he wouldn't become a fried egg" "But, in the contrary, if you kept the same conditions, but that you changed the base, insteed of an egg, you put a pebble" "I will never change by heating it, it would need other conditions" "And the relation between base and change is made by the hand bringing the place of change" "And it's strange that the places where the possibility of change is stocked are round" "A cup, a stove, we don't heat things in a square thing" "Because there is a fundamental thing, it turns round and it goes up" "And this work method, starting from simple things, permits to achieve results" "You can't solve a fit of jealousy with some why, some because, because you're beautiful, because you're nasty" "But you can say internal, external, a border" "Here there are two impacts borders" "Because in her and in him, everyone has its internal-external relations" ""Because I said you're a bitch?" "I can say it again, you're a bitch!"" "And that hurt to one another, relative to something that happened." "A third guy, for example" "And that one doesn't locate it, in its border, at the same place than the other, because each passes a border inside of it" "Each within itself." "I there is a third, there is him-her and the border, here a third" "Or she does the border, and him is on the other side, and the third..." "So there are too many people for two here" "There are not even 2 inside." "There are a set of 2 and we saw that a set of 3, it's 3" "So here, there is 3 times 3, it's 9" "And it's too much, and it's not new, it's old, we quarrel, it's not right" "So we need other work methods" "By coming this morning, I saw a rainbow, a beautiful rainbow" "You can say many things about a rainbow" "Oh, a rainbow is a beautiful image, it's even the image of the image" "It's an arc." "What we said about saucepans and round things, this is the very image of the change" "How it happens?" "Well, you saw it and you were here" "Here you should find the conditions of existence of this rainbow" "You were here, there was light and the society supplies a landscape" "So one thing, where and when were you here?" "And where and when was there light?" "Where and when is there light?" "Where and when are you here?" "DIRECTION BY"
