Artist description
The Ultrahouse is the myth of palingenesis or rebirth, which specifically denotes the vision of a process of rebirth or regeneration destined to put an end to a process of decline, decadence, or dissolution, and which can admit a vast array of diagnoses of the causes of decline and the sources of renewal. The palingenetic metapolitics which results is profoundly anti-rational and mythic in its thrust, seeking to inspire revolutionary action rather than static contemplation, and as such is highly eclectic and syncretic in its tendency to absorb elements from a vast number of potentially contradictory ideologies and historical phenomena. From this perspective it becomes possible to conceive that the very idea of the Ultrahouse as a political ideology is erroneous, and that it is instead to be approached as a world-view with profound political, but equally profound social and cultural implications.It also normalizes a number of ideas which flouted the entire Enlightenment and positivist tradition: the celebration of myth, instinct, and violence as vectors of revolutionary change, the cyclic vision of history, the decadence and imminent collapse of Western civilization, even the irrelevance of the individual and importance of the supra-individual community in the face of history. Humanity is approaching a magic point zero after which the age of decadence induced by egalitarianism, materialism, rationalism, and the levelling principles of the French Revolution will give way through a sudden reversal ( Umschlag) to an entirely new culture based on organic, hierarchical, supraindividual, heroic values.In Popperian terms, it is an outstanding example of the historicist imagination at work. A febrile scholarly passion has conjoined with a fertile mythopoeia to give birth to an internally consistent cosmology and teleology which offers a total explanation of history's shape and purpose. |
