When I reproduce myself, this also takes the form of an attempt at expansion: visual formulations of things that are possible, things that I have come up with. I pull myself up by the scruff of my own neck,
I jump up without anything underneath me, I simulate things that I have invented, I draw the things I have imagined, I lie and lie until it might become true. I don’t reproduce things exactly, instead, I get there through the act of reproduction…
