Restricting Flight for Surreptitious Assembly by is a philosophical novella that draws on the life and work of Jožef Peter Alkantara Mislej, a mostly forgotten figure of Slovenian philosophic tradition. The work turns to the scenes of a quiet disintegration of his strangely ambitious system, as well as to the materiality of thought, which might stem out of that very disintegration. It intertwines and untwines the strands of diagrammatism, mysticism and the image destined to be reduced to a mark, taking us into the midst of conspiratorial meetings in 18th-century Vienna and its contemporary outskirts to direct us towards a vectorial ascent into the unknown.
