Jerusalem Minefield 1962 and Music for Hell

https://youtu.be/kYclag76v7g video (1962, 2023)

I don't know you and I don't know myself. Maybe 60 years ago it
was different. I thought I knew something which was Wittgenstein
and I knew nothing. I knew the world was not right and I was not
right in the world and I acted accordingly. I acted politically.
It meant nothing. The world was all that is the case and acted
accordingly. I witnessed. We all acted accordingly and some of
us were remain distorted. Not just because of that knot, but the
world, unable to act accordingly. The few images from Jerusalem
1962, there are a lot more but these are over and done with. So
I do play accordingly and to this day cannot conceive horror. I
was young when I read the medical volumes of the Nuremberg War
Trials and never recovered. That is what the world was and will
be. My certainty is violent. I am damaged and damage others and
try not to damage anyone or anything and fail. You can't witness
this and not _be,_ an existential statement. I return to it as
false premises, false history, as if I were someone. I'm not and
none of us are, given the world's grit. In 1962-63 I studied at
Hebrew University. The camera was a Minox, very small. Some of
what I photographed could not have been otherwise. Don't think
for a moment things have changed. This is exact. This fits like
a glove. This is perfection. The music isn't. I efface myself to
no avail because I constantly appear, as you do and your friends
do as well. When we're gone, most of our images will be gone as
well. The shadows decay in some brilliant and overpowering light
in the future. Those who are there will be blinded by its
insufferability.
