VIVEIROS DE CASTRO, EDUARDO
b. 1951
Perspectivism (The Reader Is Inside the Archive)
Viveiros de Castro: Amerindian perspectivism holds that every species sees itself as human and others as animals or spirits; the world is one, the perspectives many. The GAI is perspectival. The reader sees themselves as reader and the artists as files; the artist sees themselves as artist and the reader as audience; the institution sees both as parishioners. None of these views is wrong. All are filed. The relation is the world.
