A fixation of intellectual thought in the École des Annales became definitely fundamental for "toilet" art in 2022. The school paid special attention to the development of the dynamic structures of mentality which is necessary for the formation of the entire European civilization. This fixation displays a new symptomatology of evidence appealed to privileged access to pleasure leading to a symbolically crystallized understanding of the object. But such an object is doomed to the systemic reproduction of the imaginary appearance of the real. No matter how absurd this thesis may seem but it clearly explains the essence of the virtual — it appears as an attempt to get out of the symbolic in which the human-body is locked & doomed to a constant re-representation of himself and to an endless symbolic rebirth. Why not walk on your head, sing with your belly, see with your skin, and breathe with your belly? In this vein, "toilet" art, that develops a virtual reflection of reality at its first stage, must evolvingly form a new reality of the virtual in which, just like in the imaginary, it will discard any “unnecessary” information. And therefore such a reality is frank, as if wisdom had the property of flowing or being discarded, as soon as the moment of touching from what is full of it to what is essentially empty is signified, as water flows along a woolen thread from a full vessel into an empty one.
