Nutrients and oxygen are brought directly into his blood stream, he does not have to breath and does not have to ingest and masticate food. Upon birth, that is at the moment when he has completely exited the mother’s womb, the autonomous respiratory system kicks in and he starts breathing. For the very first time, he is traversed by something outside of himself. We can therefore say that his sphere has had a hole punched into it, thus turning it into a tore.”

workman: surrealism: Man with a Newspaper by René Magritte, 1928. Oil on canvas, 45½ x 32 inches. Tate Collection, London, England. From Tate: Magritte’s disconcertingly deadpan style is seen clearly in these four simply painted scenes, which seem to be indistinguishable apart from the disappearance of the man of the title. They were based on an illustration in a popular health manual. There are slight changes of perspective between the four panels, which add to the disquieting effect, and may relate to the displacement of images in early 3-D viewing devices.
