Outside of ourselves, exists the object, independent of the human mind. It is the mere presence of the object that enables one to so much as venture to conceive of such abstract realities as Time, Space and other human and inhuman existences. For the object provokes an awakening of consciousness to the being of these three realities: the object renders form and dimension to space, thus providing concrete reference for the human mind. The object transposes time, as it is situated in a precise and historical moment; or, the object may serve as a reflection of another time and space. And ultimately, the object reminds one that the Other exists by bestowing an identity upon it; in fact, the object creates the other's existence. Yet, the object is a being in itself, a reality that remains perpetually indomitable; the object is the Other. / The fictional text, La chasse aux poils, is a compilation of three short stories in which is brought to light the relation existing between the subject and the object.
