The dialectic about-turn allows to assume that vanishing itself can be a way to slip from the social machineries enslaving and annihilating reality. If everything disappears , it is maybe worth trying to vanish against the common tendency, instead of disappearing together with it. Surrealists would say that this issue is primarily of a moral nature. Nevertheless, some of the instances of vanishing presented here raise hope that we are dealing with a strategic problem. Vanishing does not necessarily have to amount to escapism. As a Gypsy saying has it "everybody has a right to a place in the shadows". Maybe it is a revolutionary postulate appropriate for our era? Just in case – let’s not bid farewell just yet.
