Art and ventriloquism
"In his new book, David Goldblatt examines what he calls "the complex logic of ventriloquism" and its relationship with art, philosophy, and the artistic process. In the conversational exchange between ventriloquist and dummy, Goldblatt recognizes a speaking in other voices, illusion without deception, talking to oneself, effacing oneself as speaker, being beside oneself - the ancient Greek notion of ecstasis - and the animation of inanimate objects as an unabashed anthropomorphism."
