Abstract

[Autom. eng. transl.] The discourse on light has always been the prerogative of physics, within which it is considered as radiation, electromagnetic wave, energy, and consequently read and interpreted in a semantic universe defined by angles, lines, fields, waves ... as soon as the light crosses and inhabits that 'body' that is the human subject, physics finds itself caught in an intrigue of reflections and reflections, speculations and impulses, fantasies and ghosts, where space bends and the straight line is intertwined, the point explodes and spreads. For this tangled and surprising whole, physics shows no interest. Forced to abandon the measurable and quiet space of geometry, we then find the help of metaphysics, which knows the art of approaching the excess of the human, of opening the doors of the place where light is inhabited by amazement as by envy. , from the gaze of appropriation as from the idolatrous one, even from the abyss of darkness.
