Imaginary City by Pyrros Alexopoulos
A very pretentious title, it is. If something is imaginery, then what would not be imaginary.
Homer Flynn (or was it Hardy Fox[?]), of the Rez' Cryptic Corp. fame, once said that "surrealism is the same as ... life".
But we would hardly perceive anything as "surreal" or "imaginery" if it was indeed part of what is called perceivable life. What purpose and meaning would such descriptions otherwise serve?
No, not another worthless discussion about what is "normal" or not. Just plain human nature at work with creating its symbols and values of what is considered "real", and the habit or playfulness of the mind to ponder what is "not real".
Should we wonder then why Albert Einstein said that "imagination is more important than knowledge".
