“Never finish anything. This is the first and most important rule of Debrism” is written on the first page of “The Debrist Manifesto”, the latest publication by Scott King, which explores his theory of the incomplete and fragmentary. Does the unfinished pose an insurmountable obstacle or is it a cunning solution for the realisation of ideas? In his manifesto, King articulates the rules of Debrism in a tragicomic way and offers an introduction to his working methods. Scott King’s lecture performance for “The Sun Machine Is Coming Down” is accompanied by a film produced especially for this event.
