"Do you want the flower to open only once? The unveiling of the opening would then belong to you. The beauty or truth of the opening would be your discovery. Proposed and exposed in one definitive blossoming. The nightly closing of the flower, its folding back into itself would not take place."
– Luce Irigaray, Elemental Passions (1980)
Desire, as we know, wants to appropriate its object; the play of mimesis unfolds in this manner. But how to think of the where-about and the whence, where such mimetic play takes place? This talk will think of it as the site of a drama or play without words, as the House of the Pantomime.
Can there be an architectoncis of this house? Pantomime literally names the imitator of all as an actor, from panto- (genitive of pan) "all" (see pan-) + mimos "imitator". Grammatically speaking, hence, it would be an architectonics in the mode of the genitive case, the grammatical case that expresses "possession, source, or origin". But who could possibly dwell in the house of who "own it all" ?
We can think of the architectonics of the Pantomime’s House as the inverse to mnemotechnics - as concerned with places for forgetting rather than remembering. As a house in the genitive case, it accommodates representations insofar as they are suspended. How to think of recognition with respect to such "suspended representations"? The miming of the pantomime is not driven by desire, it does not strive to consume its object; rather, it celebrates the consumption of relations. Such a notion of consumption places the pantomime in an ethics of difference that attends to passions that are "elemental". There is a notion of the "elements" that considers their passions rather than actions: Fire, water, earth and air, then, erect axiomatic framings inversely in such an architectonics - not to "make same" (through processes of appropriation) but to "let be" (through consuming relations). Of such "letting be", we can perhaps think of as a flower’s elemental passions that are spent in blooming.
