Behind The Masks Of Total

The Advertisements During Intermissions Are The Truest Reflection Of An Intermission From Life.

In A World That Has Really Been Turned On Its Head, Truth Is A Moment Of Falsehood.

The Spectacle Is Not A Collection Of Images, But A Social Relation Among People, Mediated By Images.

The Spectacle Is The Bad Dream Of A Modern Society In Chains And Ultimately Expresses Nothing More Than Its Wish For Sleep. The Spectacle Is The Guardian Of That Sleep.

Images Detached From Every Aspect Of Life Merge Into A Common Stream, And The Former Unity Of Life Is Lost Forever. Apprehended In A Partial Way, Reality Unfolds In A New Generality As A Pseudo-world Apart, Solely As An Object Of Contemplation. The Tendency Toward The Specialization Of Images-of-the-world Finds Its Highest Expression In The World Of The Autonomous Image, Where Deceit Deceives Itself. The Spectacle In Its Generality Is A Concrete Inversion Of Life, And, As Such The Autonomous Movement Of Non-life.
