I confide in you a reflection of mine on what it means to be a 'pataphysicist today. 'Pataphysics, which Alfred Jarry defined as "the science of imaginary solutions," for me lies precisely at the crossroads of intellectual play, provocation, and an ironic and surreal vision of reality. Being a 'pataphysicist today means adopting an attitude that challenges rigid rationalism and the seriousness of institutions, instead giving space to creativity, paradox, and imagination. click here to continue reading

The booklet-work is a pataphysical celebration of the concept of escape, blending matter, words, and art into a poetic object. At its heart lies a real iron file, a symbol of both physical and mental liberation. This tangible tool embodies humanity’s ability to overcome constraints, whether real or imaginary, through a deliberate and creative act. The accompanying phrase, "A free spirit knows well how to escape reality", conveys a philosophy of the absurd, where escape is not mere flight but a means of reinventing the world. The file, humble and concrete, thus becomes a bridge between the practical act of "filing" and the metaphysical yearning for freedom.
The cover, with its graphic minimalism and the title Escape, invites the reader into a meta-rational dimension, where reality is revealed as just one of many possibilities. This creative gesture transforms an ordinary action into an extraordinary act, merging material weight with poetic lightness.
The work embodies pataphysical thought, celebrating the absurd and imaginary solutions to non-existent problems. The file symbolizes the breaking of barriers, whether material or mental, and becomes a statement of absolute autonomy against imposed rules. For the pataphysician, freedom is a state of continuous transformation, a constant process of reinvention.
This playful and irreverent artistic gesture challenges determinism, emphasizing that freedom is not only physical but a way of thinking and redefining the boundaries of reality itself.
