A Portrait of Psycho

"Significance is never without a white wall upon which it inscribes its signs and redundancies. Subjectification is never without a black hole in which it lodge its consciousness, passion and redundancies. Since all semiotics and mixed and strata come at least in twos, it should come as no surprise that a very special mechanism is situated at their intersection. Oddly enough, it is a face, the white wall/black hole system."

----Deleuze &Guattari, "Thousand Plateau"
