In 1977,

0:01

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

Philip K.

0:02

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

Dick spoke of precognitive hallucinations.

0:05

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

Fictions that somehow reach forward,

0:07

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

pulling future horrors into the present tense.

0:09

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

Twenty years later,

0:11

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

a Japanese animation studio aired an episode of a troubled mecha series.

0:15

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

Episode 9,

0:16

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

Splitting of the Breast.

0:18

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

And buried in its 22 minutes,

0:20

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

for anyone patient enough to look,

0:21

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

is a pattern that would not fully bloom until a Tuesday morning in 2001,

0:26

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

2065 days later.

0:28

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

This is not an accusation.

0:30

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

This is not a proof.

0:31

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

This is a montage.

0:33

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

an exercise in parallax,

0:35

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

where two images,

0:36

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

separated by time and medium,

0:38

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

are laid one over the other until a third thing emerges,

0:42

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

a shape,

0:43

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

a signal,

0:44

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

a haunting.

0:45

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

You are watching a ritual edit,

0:48

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

a synchronization exercise,

0:50

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

an offering to that strange space between art and event.

0:53

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

The angel Israfel descends.

0:55

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

Its body,

0:56

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

a single blue mass,

0:58

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

splits into two identical halves.

1:00

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

They hover in parallel mirror images,

1:02

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

tethered by the faintest thread of energy.

1:04

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

When the New York skyline was photographed from across the harbor,

1:08

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

the Twin Towers acted as a single gesture,

1:11

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

a unified architectural thought.

1:13

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

But in the mind of the image maker,

1:15

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

every unity contains a fracture.

1:17

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

The Angel's splitting is a card from a tarot deck not yet printed.

1:21

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

Nerve's computers calculate.

1:23

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

Both halves must be destroyed in the exact same instant.

1:27

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

A fraction of a second out of sync,

1:29

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

and the Angel regenerates infinitely.

1:32

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

The tactical display locks two targets' identical triangles over identical silhouettes.

1:36

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

On the morning of September 11th,

1:39

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

the second plane's approach was broadcast live.

1:41

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

Millions watched the South Tower absorb its wound,

1:45

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

while the North Tower already burned.

1:47

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

Two strikes,

1:48

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

17 minutes apart.

1:51

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

synchronization in the eyes of the cameras,

1:53

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

precision as a kind of terrible choreography.

1:56

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

Shinji and Asuka are forced to live together,

1:59

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

eat together,

2:00

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

sleep head -to -head on identical mats.

2:03

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

Two children,

2:04

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

one male,

2:05

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

one female dressed in identical white.

2:08

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

The show calls it training.

2:09

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

The alchemist calls it the Jairos Gamos,

2:12

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

the sacred marriage of opposites that,

2:14

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

when complete,

2:15

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

opens a door.

2:16

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

In the old Masonic tracing boards,

2:19

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

the initiate passes between two pillars,

2:21

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

Boaz,

2:22

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

the masculine,

2:23

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

and Jachin,

2:24

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

the feminine.

2:25

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

To stand between them is to enter the temple.

2:28

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

To destroy them simultaneously is to become the threshold.

2:32

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

A metronome,

2:34

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

a red digital countdown.

2:36

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

A song titled, Both of You, Dance Like You Want to Win.

2:40

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

The pilots step,

2:41

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

clap, turn,

2:42

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

and kick,

2:43

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

in perfect mirror unison.

2:45

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

A ballet of annihilation rehearsed to the beat.

2:48

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

Every great tragedy has its choreography.

2:51

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

The second plane,

2:52

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

United 175,

2:54

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

banked left and sliced into the south tower's southern face.

2:58

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

The fireball erupted in a radial bloom.

3:00

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

If you watch the footage at half speed,

3:03

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

the plane's trajectory reads like a dancer's line.

3:05

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

A clean,

3:06

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

terrible arc,

3:07

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

ending in a percussive stop.

3:09

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

EVA -01 and EVA -02 stand

3:14

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

in the Tokyo,

3:14

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

three cityscape,

3:16

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

purple and red,

3:17

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

shoulder to shoulder.

3:19

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

The animators frame them dead center,

3:22

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

symmetrical,

3:23

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

two silent obelisks,

3:25

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

monuments to a coming cataclysm.

3:27

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

Alex Jones,

3:28

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

the screaming street prophet of a scanner darkly,

3:31

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

once stood in a film and ranted about a coming police state.

3:35

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

That film was fiction.

3:37

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

Until it wasn't.

3:38

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

The towers in Evangelion are fiction.

3:40

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

Until the eye learns to overlay.

3:42

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

Then they become something else entirely.

3:44

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

A sketch.

3:45

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

A rehearsal.

3:46

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

A shadow cast backward in time.

3:49

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

Sixty -two seconds on the clock.

3:51

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

Six and two.

3:53

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

A countdown to the synchronized blow that will end the angel.

3:56

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

On nine over eleven,

3:58

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

the south tower burned for fifty -six minutes before it began its one

4:02

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

-zero second descent.

4:04

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

The North Tower,

4:04

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

struck first,

4:06

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

collapsed second.

4:07

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

The numbers are not identical,

4:09

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

they don't need to be.

4:10

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

Numerology is not mathematics,

4:12

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

it's poetry.

4:13

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

The red digital countdown from the anime becomes,

4:16

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

in the overlay,

4:17

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

the timer of a structure losing its integrity.

4:19

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

The double kick lands.

4:21

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

The two halves of Israfel detonate in perfect synchrony,

4:25

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

and for a single frozen frame,

4:26

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

the explosion forms a cross,

4:28

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

a cruciform blaze painted across the sky.

4:31

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

blood and light in the shape of a sacrifice.

4:33

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

After the towers fell,

4:35

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

recovery workers found a crossbeam fused in the shape of a crucifix.

4:39

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

Photographs of it circulated.

4:41

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

It became known as the Ground Zero Cross,

4:43

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

a symbol of something faith,

4:45

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

irony,

4:46

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

coincidence,

4:47

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

design.

4:47

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

In our montage,

4:49

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

the angels' death cross and the steel cross melt into one another.

4:53

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

The portal is aesthetic,

4:54

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

not literal,

4:55

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

but it opens nonetheless.

4:57

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

The angels' remains form a red halo over Tokyo.

5:01

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

Three, then dissolve.

5:03

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

The ritual is complete.

5:05

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

The pilots collapse.

5:06

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

The city breathes.

5:08

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

In New York,

5:09

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

the dust cloud rolled through the canyons of lower Manhattan like a tide,

5:13

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

blotting out the sun,

5:14

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

turning day to an amber twilight.

5:17

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

Survivors emerged coated in gray,

5:19

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

gasping,

5:20

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

ghost -like.

5:21

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

The halo of the angel and the shroud of the dust become,

5:25

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

in the dissolve,

5:26

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

a single image,

5:27

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

an apotheosis in reverse.

5:29

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

The two Evangelions stand in the sunset,

5:31

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

their shadows stretching like fallen pillars across the geofront.

5:35

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

The last light of the day catches their armor.

5:37

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

They are still.

5:38

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

The episode ends.

5:40

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

Every year since 2002,

5:42

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

two beams of light have pierced the New York night sky where the towers once stood,

5:46

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

the tribute in light.

5:47

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

They are ghosts,

5:49

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

pillars of pure luminescence,

5:51

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

visible for miles.

5:52

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

In the final dissolve of this montage,

5:54

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

the Eva silhouettes and the light beams crossfade into one.

5:58

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

The fiction and the memorial become indistinguishable.

6:01

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

The art has done its work.

6:03

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

What you carry away is your own.

6:05

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

The two Evangelions stand in the sunset,

their shadows stretching like fallen pillars across the geofront.

6:11

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

The last light of the day catches their armor.

6:14

They are still.

In the final dissolve of this montage,

6:31

S… Speaker 1 (tts-full-1780564604046)

the Eva silhouettes and the light beams crossfade into one.
