Neither Dead Nor Alive, The Hostage Is Suspended By An Incalculable Outcome. It Is Not His Destiny That Awaits For Him, Nor His Own Death, But Anonymous Chance, Which Can Only Seem To Him Something Absolutely Arbitrary. He Is In A State Of Radical Emergency, Of Virtual Extermination.

Smile And Others Will Smile Back. Smile To Show How Transparent, How Candid You Are. Smile If You Have Nothing To Say. Most Of All, Do Not Hide The Fact You Have Nothing To Say Nor Your Total Indifference To Others. Let This Emptiness, This Profound Indifference Shine Out Spontaneously In Your Smile.

It Is No Longer A Question Of Imitation, Nor Of Reduplication, Nor Even Of Parody. It Is Rather A Question Of Substituting Signs Of The Real For The Real Itself.
