Ivan Htrspltn (below). A resident of Eastern Siberia, specifically the city of Ulan-Ude, he speaks of his work in the most abstract, decentered terms possible. In other words, the development of his lyricism is described as a removal of any differences between internal and external experience. Identity becomes endless extension - and speaking of one-self in the first person apparently becomes impossible: Htrspltn himself is a complex web of thoughts, feelings, and associations . There's a[n overriding] sense of morbid beauty. That second phrase needs a little explanation. ...a complex web of thoughts, feelings, and associations Beauty and morbidity are conflated by Htrspltn's discussion of the bodily differences between inside and out - or, more accurately, by speaking of their erasure: Htrspltn is somewhat like a pornographic actor[!], except for the fact those people offer audiences their naked body, whereas Htrspltn offers instead the nakedness of internal experience.
