to 'fantasize'
(a process as unconscious of its own ontology desire)
is to 'live' the 'product' of desire.
-the metaphor-
as an experience of visual or literary text.
to accept the 'subjectifying function' of the gaze,
is to 'succumb' to illusion, to the desire for meaning, and is the condition of existence itself.
the 'subjectifying function' is thus to
'transform''
which is the experience of the 'sacred' as revelation for the reader or veiwer of a text.
- jacques lacan
