FM Module #22 | Stairs

What do you associate the stairs with? Probably, just with moving up or down, with an extremely clear vertical arrangement of both physical and conceivable space. In the latest episode of the Module, we, as ever, reveal an obvious image. Through the prism of the texts by Wittgenstein and Freud, Kafka and Joyce, Tom Waits and Led Zeppellin, we are looking for connotations of gloom, vertigo, falling, and trauma in the concept of stairs. After all, what a guile can be hidden in the slippery steps of any public interface.
