“The limbs of Disney’s animals can stretch themselves into infinity: every solid body achieves a supple mobility of fluidity, and all things can assume all shapes. Fishes transform into elephants and waves become boxers. The standardization of modernity is everywhere—and not only in the United States – triumphant in the present. Does this standardization beget a nostalgia for the lost capacity for transformation, for the adoption of all forms? An impulse away from stiffness, ossification, the skeleton, and the corset into a fleeting and evanescent condition of the momentary and undefined?” Eisenstein.
