... and then I became a vegetable

2008 • 2 min • Lebanon

The body without organs is the unproductive, the sterile, the unengendered, the unconsumable. The death instinct: that is the name, and death is not without a model. For desire desired death also, because the full body of death is its motor, just as it desires life, because the organs of life are the working machine. The body without organs is not a projection; it has nothing whatsoever to do with the body itself, or with an image of the body. It is the body without an image. G. Deleuze & F. Guattari
