ALPHABET WITHOUT ’A’ (acrylic paint on canvas, 1.5×1.5 metres)

A-class, A-rate, alpha (fe)male, etc. – the alphabet holds a promise for a brave new castration. however, the hymns of equality are overwritten by the irrevocability of hierarchies, the worship of the next-in-order, and by B as the new A

the first letter of the alphabet – ’A’ – holds weird semiotic connotations that have politicized it’s meaning. ’A’ as an absolute perfection, A-class and the Arian race, ’A’ as the illustrative example of the top of the power pyramid and the hierarchical position of the winner

does a formal operation of literally leaving ’A’ „out of the picture“ castrate the alfa-male and break the agreed vertex? what happens next – does revolution eat its children? does the shift taking place while rearranging the forcefields distribute new empty power position equally?

    See, kui häälitsus muutub sõnaks, märgiks, täheks
    See on alati Teine, alati kaks. Ükskõik kuidas ka
    ei pingutaaaaaaaaommmmmmmmmoooooooooaaaaaaaaaoooo
    aaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmoooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
    See mõistuse trikk,lugu mis puhtast vibreerivast
    häälitsusest teeb märgi
    A eraldi on ilus
