The Role of Shitting in Creativity

The erogenous zone to which feces is connected is itself a socially repressed zone, maybe more so than mouth by the sheer fact of display. What do we know about things that get repressed, concealed, socially or otherwise? They transmutate into all sorts of strange ways in a way that the rails of society might not allow otherwise. So I was almost tempted to make a bad joke about creativity and art relative to shit. This is also how Lacon sees painting. Painting, he says, is just like looking at somebody who took some canvas and wiped their ass with it. It's a startling moment.
