Daydreaming

Whatever its other aspects, the everyday has this essential trait: it allows no hold. It escapes. It belongs to insignificance; the insignificant being what it without truth, without reality,  and without secret, but also perhaps, the site of all possible signification. The everyday escapes. In this consists its strangeness - the familiar showing itself( but already dispersing ) in the guise of the astonishing. It is the unperceived, first in the sense that we have always looked past it; nor can we introduce it into a whole or ‘ review’ it, that is to say, enclose it within a panoramic vision; for, by another trait, the everyday is what we never see for first time but can only see again, having always already seen it by an illusion that is constitutive of the everyday.
