Film synopsis by Missy Jubilee
Science minded folk
are still working on theories
for the law that keeps one’s feet on the ground
One of those things
that one does not think about too much
unless its absence is deeply considered.
No time for this
no time to worry
Instead I concern myself with the theory of fetishes
Octave Mannoni’s formulation of the structure of the fetish is…
The fetishist knows that an old, cherished belief is false
but nonetheless continues to believe it.
The nonetheless is not articulated
Because it is the fetish.
Fetishism, then,
is a nondeclarative narrative.
A means of sharing pain, or being heard
However, in fetishism
the desired object is displaced.
It is the desired object that is the fetish
In other words,
have you ever seen a shoe in love with a fetishist?
“If your sexual fantasies were truly of interest to others, they would no longer be fantasies.”
