Scream When Your Life is Threatened

“Shriek when the pain hits during interrogation.
Reach into the dark ages to find a sound that is liquid horror, a sound of the brink where man stops and the beast and nameless cruel forces begin.
Scream when your life is threatened.
Form a noise so true that your tormentor recognizes it as a voice that lives in his own throat.
The true sound tells him that he cuts his flesh when he cuts yours, that he cannot thrive after he tortures you.
Scream that he destroys all the kindness in you and blackens every vision you could have shown him.”
Jenny Holzer from Inflammatory Essays, [no title] 1979-82
