“Love is an answer to the lack that lies at the heart of aliveness, but it does not compensate for that lack – it transforms it. Love transforms that lack into an excess that produces new contradictions; it is the luminous chasm and the ephemeral mass, freedom in impossibility, the always insufficient answer to the paradox of life: ‘vivacidad pura’ (Octavio Paz) – pure aliveness, experienced from inside the world” ~ Andreas Weber {from Matter & Desire, 2014}
