Lacan in Love

FINE ART AND WRITING PRIZE

Prearranged messages in the own past. The first letter is never the first message. The dominant sender is the recipient of the very first letter. It is a form of missive unconsciously sent, and it is the only form of love message that does not have a designated recipient because the destination from which it is sent is from the receiver's past. I become the addressee of the message at the moment I recognise in the present other, the other from my past. Only then, I answer to that message, re-awaken by the other: the letter that seeks contact with the conscious present and the unconscious past.
