Ratorical Extractions
Extracted from a larger ratorical complex1, the following ratorical drawings are enigmas whose solution, if any, will only have real meaning within the framework of a greater ratheoretical praxis of the rat language. In other words, you will have to become a rat in order to grasp the meaning of whatever follows. By the same token, and in order to roll in more of the same: from 25 November 2015 to 1 January 2016 Von Calhau! will deliver a labyrinthine rat sequence for those who are able to tune into the raum.pt channel or wish to remain trapped in the cages of stories paraphrasing Oulipians: rats building labirynths from which they plan to escape.
