To this point, I have approached modes of destruction as they operate within the representative aesthetics of media cultures, and in relation to the bodies of an audience, or those who otherwise participate in those representations as potential catalysts or provocations for an experience of sovereignty. I have argued that the common element that provides this potential for an experience of sovereignty in located in the operations of destruction they engage with. These operations, destructive intensities within the narratives, images and intentions of the films and art discussed in the previous chapters have constituted simulacra of destruction, while remaining in the confines of screens and galleries, where a comfortable challenge or exception to the ordinary or expected can be made. Here, I move from exploring these modes and operations of destruction that remain confined within the narratives and images of media cultures to those that transgress the material boundary between images and narratives, and the modes of their production. This is the point at which representation collapses into materiality through experience. The distance between the body of the observer, audience or participant in culture and the image of culture is destroyed by the direct implication of the body itself.
