The Imagoes

Trace a line in the shape of a human body. Generally they are life-sized or slightly larger, but there is no firm rule. Compose its interior space with whatever you wish - what you use to compose the interior is of no importance whatever. If you trace the line on a brick wall, the interior space is composed in brick. If you bring flowers to decorate the surface, the interior space is composed in flowers on brick. If you smear it with shit or with quicklime, if you put down wire inside it, if you paint the interior surface in bright - none of this is important. Then you erase the line.The imagoes are bad omens, and can be dangerous. People shouldn't make them, and no one knows why some people sometimes do. Sometimes (often) the process doesn't work (it is not clear why it only works sometimes), but when it does the number of imagoes in the world increases by one, and as far as anyone knows, this number never drops. You would see a shape on the wall, or against the sky, or in the rock…
