Koren vida

Vučo Aleksandar

Summary

Aleksandar Vučo: Root of sight

You shouted so terribly that your voice burned in my body like poison. You roared beastly and silenced your careless ones, you on wheels, aerial, underground, bound. Fathers, condemned by children; you lovers, May's wretches; you workers, red and sweaty; you calm before the sea and the sun, before the forests and in the shadows of the mountains; you shouted to everyone with your movements, voices, swallowing, laughing and sleeping stretched out; oh, you were a beast, that your voice now torments me immeasurably.

Koren vida begins with the hero's memory of the contemptuous confrontation with banal philistine everyday life, which forces him to withdraw from society and turn to himself. However, the basis of the book is his search for authentic values in a world that does not recognize them, which turns into a spooky-nightmare series of fixations and representations, that inevitable burden of new uprootedness.

"The very title metaphor of Vuč's anti-novel functions as an anticipatory echo of Buñuel and Dali's eye-snapping from the first surrealist film - Andalusian dog. The motif of seeing is expectedly privileged in The Root of Vision, and most often it is about looking (ka) inward, about looking into one's own fantasies. It is not difficult to guess that the book's title contains the desire to penetrate behind the visible reality, behind the "ingrained" and stale veil of the eye. vida, all the way to true surreality. This effort is part of the surrealist trust in the possibility of reaching the original and original, from which unsuspected creative energy will be released."   - Jovan Bukumira
