Self Made Man

these things add up to create a softer look, subtle color changes, a character. Patina is built from all the effects, natural and man-made, that create a true antique. —Israel Sack, [3]) La patine est : « une sorte de noirceur universelle que le temps a fait apparaître sur des images et qui, parfois, joue en leur faveur. » ("some universal darkness which time made to appear on pictures and that sometimes favors them." ) Filippo Baldinucci http://www.getty.edu/conservation/publications/newsletters/15_3/feature

contribuent à l'homogénéisation de la société par la télévision, le cinéma, les compétitions sportives, la presse très puissante (Newsweek, Time…). Cet "American Way of Life" développe une fascination pour les Etats-Unis organisée autour des mythes du self-made man, de l'argent facile, des paillettes d'Hollywood ou du gigantisme new-yorkais. D'ailleurs, cet impérialisme culturel de masse autour de la télévision, du jeans ou du coca-cola se prolonge par un patrimoine culturel important, avec des écrivains

When he is in the cave, two eyes appears and he wonders whom do they belong to. (maybe a “Creature”, the “Devil”, “a Man”). So here, it is the eyesight which is used. Then, he can hear a “very loud sight”, “a broken Noise”, and “a deep Sight again”. Right from the start, his sense of hearing helps him to speculate that it is a big creature.
