Marbre de Veines

“Marbre de Veines”. Décembre 2011. Copyrights Alice Odilon

 

Prélude

Les martinets de soie noire l’avaient dressée dans l’enfance, à l’absolu.

Tandis que sa mère réduisait la vie, sans se rendre compte de ce qui lui arrivait.

Ils revenaient comme une naissance; les cris sifflaient dans l’espace, sillonnaient les cours d’immeubles en ville.

Les beaux immeubles Haussmanniens, dans l’un desquels Nade avait grandit.

Les martinets noirs.

L’été, dans son lit, couchée trop tôt, elle s’évanouissait de leurs cris.

Leur plaisir la faisait jouir.

Dans cette image le ventre et la vue font écho.

Voir pour survivre, voir au lieu de manger,

voir au lieu de mourir. voir pour tuer.

C’est un grand “NON” adressé sans faux-semblant,

littéralement corporel, scopique, logorrhéique.

Les anorexiques refuseraient le suspicieux repas social.

Elles ne s’y seraient pas trompées, rejetant la demande d’amour

à 15 balles desservie par leur mère et la famille, tout frais inclus.

Non elles rêveraient en dépit de toute apparence,

“d’un amour sans compter”, un “vrai”.

Elles ne s’arrangeraient pas d’un lien d’emprise abandonnique

ou d’omnipotente carence de reconnaissance.

Rien à faire, elles ne peuvent simuler le sourire renoncé de Mona Lisa.

Elles iront droit au but – quitte à y laisser leur peau.

Les “standard issues” (rôles de poupées dociles,

femmes besogneuses assoiffées d’amour, ménagères sous lexomil,

femmes battues, femmes des rues, femmes poubelles,)

ne colleront pas avec le dessein anorexique, (la quête “d’absolu-moi”).

Avec leur encre de sang, leur crayon d’os,

il s’agira d’un activisme de négation, refus fondamental

d’être l’objet muet de l’Autre.

Les anorexiques posent la question du déplacement vers l’inconnu, sans solution.

Un certain élan vers l’horizon, même s’il est très noir.

“Il doit y avoir autre chose” semblent-t’elles dire; le squelette à découvert.

“Valérie Valère”.

Une hirondelle en cellule

Le mardi 13 juillet 2010, Akan est descendue à la ville pour chercher les médicaments dont elle est accoutrée depuis quelques années.

Fluoxetine, Atarax, Temazepan lui servent de boulet pour la tenir en vue, en probation.

Akan les avale quotidiennement avec impuissance et crédulité, pour “aller mieux”.

Cependant le pharmacien ne trouve pas les drogues commandées et convaint notre héroïne de revenir dans 3 jours.

Déçue d’avoir été oubliée encore une fois, Akan se rend au centre commercial dans le but de se délester de son malaise en soustrayant d’un étalage un objet encore inconnu d’elle même et symbolisant le réconfort, les caresses d’une mère invisible.

- Un objet étalon de son manque et fétiche de sa victoire sur la douleur du manque.

Elle s’engage sans aucune détermination, sans énergie, avec l’envie compulsive d’être enregistrée par une caméra de surveillance capturant l’évidence de l’offense.

Peut-être aura-t’elle la chance de se faire arrêtée par la police, seule à même de noter son existence minuscule, sa trajectoire kamikaze.

Elle se sent vieille, laide, désespérément triste, finie.

Son corps maigre et trop veiné ne retient plus les regards en arrière.

Si des yeux la remarquent c’est pour juger de sa gracilité quasi cachectique.

Avant les hommes se retournaient sur son passage tant elle était jeune, racée, élégante.

Aujourd’hui, malgré la même silhouette, l’élégance innée, les gens ne la remarquent plus, car elle a vieilli et cela lui vaut d’être transparente, insignifiante.

Les hommes ne cherchent que la chair adolescente appelante, celle qui promet des délices les plus interdits.

Le visage ne compte plus dans ces rues où la survie de l’espèce passe avant tout language.


Le 13 de ce mois d’été est la veille d’anniversaire de la jeune fille au tatouage, et Akan n’arrive pas à gérer cette date, tant les liens qui l’unissent à la gamine tombent à terre dans des flaques d’eau.

Ce lien secret aurait dû aider Akan à vivre et assumer la réalité, mais il enlève toute vie, toute joie, toute paix.

L’enfant au bras tatoué l’a reniée, rayée de son vocabulaire affectif et lui fera payer le prix d’avoir été une mère anorexique photographe.

Akan ne pensait pas qu’un jour sa fille aînée la trahirait, lui reprocherait d’être une artiste et sa mère en même temps.

Aujourd’hui les rêves de pérennité et d’immortalité se sont effondrés, plus rien ne sera plus comme avant.

Akan sait désormais que son oeuvre sera oubliée.

L’hirondelle sait que tout est perdu.


Cette conviction toute fraîche donne naissance à un chagrin angoissé, venant de nulle part et s’installant comme un smog aveuglant.

Il arrive qu’une branche assassine son arbre.

“Il arrive qu’une branche assassine son arbre”. Copyright Alice ODIlON


Alors Akan entre dans un store de produits de beauté et s’empare d’un panier rouge en plastique qu’elle remplit de laits pour le corps, de masques hydratants, de crèmes de nuit, de crèmes anti-rides, de lotions anti-âge et sort du magasin avec allure et détermination, passant les portes de sécurité, en déclenchant une alarme foudroyante.

Les heures suivantes Akan est au poste de police, confrontée à des interrogatoires, des prises d’empreintes, d’ADN, des flashs de caméras, des heures en cellule vide.

L’hirondelle captive.

Pendant cet après-midi là elle s’apaise enfin dans ce nouvel enfermement la retenant au monde, lui disant, “tu existes car tu as transgressé la loi”.

Tu as été remarquée, entendue, ton cri a été entendu.

Et cette prison vaut tous les bras humains par le silence et la paix.

Son corps maigre devient vivant dans cette cellule apparemment vide et cependant pleine de cris et de colères passées, de peurs et de regrets.

Akan se rend compte de sa propre réalité humaine.

Elle admet cette prisonnière en elle.

Ses mains, ses bras longs et fins, ses genoux osseux, tout son corps devient une sculpture vivante et profonde et Akan découvre sa vérité la plus solide.

Akan feels very bad on the 13th of july 2010 in the afternoon, unable to deal with anything around her.

Her body has been suffering the last hours; the exhaustion caused by the insomnia and the lack of fluoxetine, has grown for the worse, to give birth to a dark absent mood, and endless sadness.

Akan comes down to the city to purchase drugs she has been using for a few years.

Fluoxetine, Atarax, Temazepan are prescribed to her to control her mind.

She admits them with impotence and credulity, “to getting better”.

However the pharmacist does not find the ordered drugs and convinces our heroin for returning in 3 days.

Disappointed to be forgotten once again, Akan goes to the shopping mall with an aim of relieve herself from her terrible faintness by withdrawing a displayed unknown item, symbolizing the peace, the safety, the caresses of an invisible mother.

- An object symbol of her lack and fetish of her victory over the pain of confusion – .

Akan enters in the huge commercial gallery without any determination and any energy, with the compulsive desire to be recorded by a CCTV camera capturingthe obviousness of the offend.

Perhaps will she have chance to be stopped by the police force, the only one able to notice her tiny existence, her kamikaze path.

She feels old, ugly, hopelessly sad, finished.

Her thin body does not retain any more the glances behind.

If eyes notice her it is to judge her cachectic slenderness ratio.

Before the men were turned over on her passage as she was young, racée, elegant.

Today, in spite of the same silhouette, innate elegance, people do not notice her any more, because she is mature and for them she’s worth to be transparent, unimportant.

The men seek only the appealing teenager flesh, that which promises most prohibited delights.

The face does not count any more in these streets where the survival of the species passes above all language.

The 13 of July is the day before the birthday of the young tattooed girl, and Akan does not manage this date, so much the bonds which link her to the “gamine” fall to ground in puddle pools water.

This secret bond should have helped Akan to live and assume reality, but it removes any life, any joy, any peace.

The child with the tattooed arm has disavowed her, striped her of her emotional vocabulary and will make her pay the price to have been an anorexic photographer mother.

Akan would not have thinking that one day her oldest daughter would betray her, would reproach her to be an artist and her mother at the same time.

Today dreams of immortality crumble, nothing will not be the same.

Akan knows from now on that her work will be forgotten.

This very fresh conviction gives rise to a distressed sorrow, coming from nowhere like a plugging smog.

It happens that a branch assassinates its tree.

Then Akan enters in a store of beauty products and takes a red plastic basket that she  fills of milks for the body, hydrating masks, creams of night, anti-wrinkle creams, lotions anti-age and then leaves the store without attempt to pay, passing the security doors by setting off a striking down alarm.

The following hours Akan stands at the police station, confronted with interrogations, flashes of cameras, hours in blank cell.

During this afternoon she finally finds relieve in this new retreat into silence retaining her far from the world, telling her, “you exist because you transgressed the law”.

You have been noticed, heard, your scream has been heard.

And this jail is worth all the human arms by silence and peace.

Her thin body becomes alive in this apparently empty cell and however full with cries and passed angers, fear and regrets.

Akan realizes her own human reality.

She admits this captive inside her.

Her hands, her long and fine arms, her bony knees, all her body becomes a human sculpture and Akan discovers her main genuine truth.

Perseus and the Gorgon or the Mirror Stage

Two backgrounds and the same concept and progress, I will try to clarify in a third time.

1 – The Mirror stage.

(Describing the formation of the Ego).


{This identification is what LACAN called “alienation”.


At six months the baby still lacks coordination.


However, he can recognize himself in the mirror before attaining control over his bodily movements.



“Nausica Eyes”. Copyright Alice ODILON 2009. No clone is free.



He sees his image as a whole, and the synthesis of this image produces a contrast with the real body which is perceived as fragmented.


This contrast is first felt by the infant as a rivalry with his own image, because the wholeness of the image threatens him with fragmentation,


and thus the mirror stage gives rise to an aggressive tension between the subject and the image.


To resolve this aggressive tension, the subject identifies with the image: this primary identification with the counterpart is what forms the Ego.


It must be said that the mirror stage has also a significant symbolic dimension.


The Symbolic order is present in the figure of the adult who is carrying the infant: the moment after the subject has jubilantly assumed his image as his own, he turns his head towards this adult who represents the big Other, as if to call on him to ratify this image}.


(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/jacques_Lacan).




2 – The Act: curtain opens in the cave of the Gorgons.


The snake-haired Medusa (“I bear terror”)is deeply sleeping in her cave.


Using Athena’s shield as a mirror to avoid the fell gaze of the Gorgon.



Perseus decapitates Medusa



Then, using Pluto’s helmet to make himself invisible, Perseus flees the wrath of the remaining Gorgons carrying Medusa’s head.



A) Let us resume the scene of the Mirror Stage: The Girl “a” confronts again with her “spéculaire” image.


She waits for a reaction of her reflection(this Other one)in the mirror.


And there this reflection seems to her, intimate and invasive.


Fortunately Mom is in the room behind her there, and the girl turns around towards her to cross her glance, then towards her words, to make sure of her intuition of identification in the “spéculaire image.”


The mother does not hold her in the arms, and is placed behind the girl, she decides not to name her, her image.


She does not say to her: “it is the image of your body, it is you whom we see in the mirror”.


But the Mother has a glance of Jellyfish which reflects but does not see, she lets sink the child into the fascination of the “reflecting eyes”.


The child never get the approving judgment of her blind Mother.



“Tournant le dos à la Gorgone pour ne pas être pétrifiée”. Copyright Alice ODILON 2009

{It is the negation of the future, the negation of the “that”, the negation of the unconscious.} J.M.FORGET (Anorexia symptom-out).


It is a categorical eye.


“Category” in Greek means proceeding to an accusation: – “you are A and not “no A”! You are static and not dynamics, you have more no right to speak that a corpse.”


The little Girl here is transformed into object.

The Perseides dolls”. Copyright Alice ODILON 2009. no clone is free.


This “missed Mirror Stage” has a big symbolic valuin the psychic evolution of the girl there to become anorexic.


Mom sees her daughter as a fixed object, wants her daughter frozen in an immortal fate without becoming.


Mom wants to bury her daughter in the melancholy because she lives herself this terrible spell.


The girl wants to be named to be able to cross the test of the mirror.


Then the girl meets herself alone in front of this double who is not maybe her, and then, where is she, from which nucleus she arises?


The girl begins a new life with this double “spéculaire”, with a certain guilt  because the Mother did not give her agreement, namely does not have accepted that this reflection has the right to exist and represents her daughter.

The girl saw in the eyes of her Mother only the black and not the desire of her Mother for her, her life.


Instead of the black, the girl chooses the mirror with this double.


The girl is dying to play with this double which will not bring her the rest of the recognized unity.


And if the girl sees herself it is by piece and never in its entirety in the eyes of her mother.


She lives in a symbiotic relation with the Mother and confronts with her double “(image spéculaire)”.


Henceforth the girl is confronted with enormous problems of distinction between the Me” and the others, the inside and the outside, and gets lost in her relationship with her “spéculaire image”.


And so her “body image” builds itself to and nevertheless, limited by a vague outline, and also by an uncertain size.


As we see it in this story, the glance of the little Girl (Perseus), which recovers from the “that”, don’t triumph over the eye (Gorgon), the static and mortifying material sphere,


the head of Jellyfish eyes of which stop any change “.


So the anorexic girl becomes the invisible Peeping Tom, the one who sees, unnoticed, the one who gets lost, unnoticed, the one who plays with copies, unnoticed.


I will clarify this word “unnoticed” in a next future post.
