Astillas De Realidad [FAST]

Consider the work of contemporary digital collage artists (e.g., Jospeh Klibansky or abstract glitch artists). They take high-resolution, hyperreal images and splice them. The violence of the cut is visible. The astilla appears as a pixelated edge or a jarring juxtaposition—a cloud in a living room, a hand that is also a landscape. This aesthetic forces the viewer to acknowledge the splinter rather than looking through it.

Jacques Derrida’s concept of the parergon (the frame that is neither inside nor outside the work) applies here. The astilla is a parergon that has become the ergon . When a splinter of a news headline, a meme, or a six-second video stands in for an entire geopolitical conflict, the frame has consumed the content. Reality becomes the exception; the splinter becomes the rule. 3. The Phenomenology of the Splinter How does a human body experience an astilla of reality?
