Simulate Yourself as a Contradiction

(Simulacra and Simulation + meet yourself as you really are)

This non-linear parlor game book leads you through a series of questions to help you construct a hyperreal embodiment of yourself based on other simulations with no original referent. A series of questions such as 'Do you like Milk?' and 'Was your mother happy as a child?' combine the worst aspects of 1930's pseudo-psychoanalaysis with French theory with the end goal of convincing you that the simulacra simulated through this auto-analysis simulation book simulator has no foundational reality.

Submission
The Blind Owl

>Easy mode:
Blind Submission
or
Flagellum Dei

An Iranian opium addict gets into a fight with his favorite French hooker, as he's bashing in her face and slicing her up for easy disposal, he keeps seeing Corinthian and Dorian columns flashing before his eyes, an old senator smiling, his horse-like tooth to gum ratio showing through his neighing. After the hooker is ridden from a suspect radius around the apartment, the Iranian falls asleep, and walks from the Hadrian wall to Jerusalem with a basket of coins in his hand, unscathed. He realizes he has helped slay the Roman Empire, and longs to bring it back, to revive it somehow, and to make fucking different girls the law again. This is where his Islamic heritage comes into play.

I don't really into movies, so I have no idea.

Madame Bovary and Reality Hunger combine to create . . .

Madame Reality Hunger by Gustav Shields

Middle class French house-wife, constrained by pressures of society, domesticity, and narrative realism, rebels against her cultural bonds and endeavors to tear down the window dressing of picturesque scene, bland character details, and the plot that imprisons her to reach the philosophical and artistic core of her life. And since her husband is composed of nothing but bland detail, bridging the gap between fiction and reality to reach truth (and sexual bliss) does involve killing her marriage. But the Madame goes a bridge too far, uncovering the auto-biographical core of fictional narration, stripping away so much of the creative process that she in fact becomes Gustave Shields, a woman now trapped in a half assed mash-up of two men's bodies. The Catholic Church, initially planning to pull the author into an immorality trial because of the work that has just devoured itself, must now try the consciousness of the character herself. S/he must now artistically defend her/his own being(s) before the court of God in a sort of hyper-meta law and order type scenario. Can the Madame tear down the artifices of religion, conformity, marriage, gender, and artistic tradition while still keeping a grip on the reality she craves as bad as a hot affair? Will this film break the 4th wall so many times that it ends up resembling a Land O' Lakes label broadening out into chaotic infinity? Find out in Abbas Kiarostami's new feature film (look him up, it'll make sense) in . . .
