“sex, of course, remains our continuing preoccupation. as you and i know, the act of intercourse is almost always a model for something else. what will follow is the psychopathology of sex, relationships so lunar and abstract that people will become mere extensions of the geometries of situations. this will allow an exploration, without any taint of guit, of every aspect of psychopathology… however consoling, it seems likely that our familiar perversions will soon come to an end, if only because their equivalents are too readily available in strange stair angles, in the mysterious eroticisms of overpasses, in distortions of gesture and posture.”
– jg ballard, the atrocity exhibition (1970), chapter 8.
