The original “Imagination” by Belouis Some caused a storm due to the accompanying video: for this tribute, Van Credenza again turn to Sooty and some of his friends for a contemporary interpretation.

The neu-minimalist reading of Van Credenza, vassal to the Humbolt legacy, questions their own raison d'etre. Are they ultra visible figures of speech? Are they insecure (self-contemptuous/self-repugnant) egocentrics? Or are they simply (and solely) conjectural snapshots without a vocabulary of their own? Van Credenza can best be examined as artistic interventions against the domineering absurdity epitome, whereas the unappealingly desperate musings of Sooty are truly indebted to the fatalistic oeuvre. As Baudrillard and Guillaume (1) so concisely and pithily state, “What is produced with the romantic turn…is…the…play of…masculine hysteria…of …sexual paradigms that once again must be reinserted in the more general and universal context of a change in the paradigms of otherness.”
