What is a Pataphor?
The pataphor is an unusually extended metaphor invented by writer Pablo Lopez, based on Alfred Jarry's "science" of 'pataphysics.
As Jarry claimed that 'pataphysics existed "as far from metaphysics as metaphysics extends from regular reality," a pataphor attempts to create a figure of speech that exists as far from metaphor as metaphor exists from non-figurative language.
Whereas a metaphor is the comparison of a real object or event with a seemingly unrelated subject in order to emphasize the similarities between the two, the pataphor uses the newly created metaphorical similarity as a reality with which to base itself. In going beyond mere ornamentation of the original idea, the pataphor seeks to describe a new and separate world, in which an idea or aspect of a concept has taken on a life of its own.
Like ‘pataphysics itself, pataphors essentially describe two degrees of separation from reality (rather than merely one degree of separation, which is the world of metaphors and metaphysics). The pataphor may also be said to function as a critical tool, describing the world of "assumptions based on assumptions," such as belief systems or rhetoric run amok.
Example 1
Non-figurative
-Tom and Alice stood side by side in the lunch line.
Metaphor
-Tom and Alice stood side by side in the lunch line, two pieces on a chessboard.
Pataphor
-Tom took a step closer to Alice and made a date for Friday night, checkmating. Rudy was furious at losing to Margaret so easily and dumped the board on the rose-colored quilt, stomping downstairs.
(The pataphor has created a world where the chessboard exists, including the characters who live in that world, entirely abandoning the original context.)

In 1900, Alfred Jarry was 27 years old. He died (permanently 'Infrathinned') in 1907.
in 1900, Marcel Duchamp was 13 years old. Infrathin suspension dissolves age, and everything else for that matter, matter being the matter, and its opposite.
The 'Large Glass', 'The Bride and her Bachelors', and 'Étant donnés' partially came from this idea. Marcel claimed that they were all part of the same piece, as was all his 'work'.
“But as for certain truth, no man has known it,
Nor will he know it; neither of the Gods
Nor yet of all the things of which I speak.
And even if by chance he were to utter
The perfect truth, he would himself not know it;
For all is but a woven web of guesses.” [Parmenides]

To discover that metaphysical Tree which hid
From my worldling look its brilliant vein
Far deeper in gross wood
Than axe could cut.
But before I might blind sense
To see with the spotless soul,
Each particular quirk so ravished me
Every pock and stain bulked more beautiful
Than flesh of any body
Flawed by love's prints.
— Sylvia Plath “On The Plethora Of Dryads”

Several ladies had their stand in that street, offering metaphysical services. More than half were busy advising customers. I wonder what they have to say.
"That from which is everything that exists and from which it first becomes and into which it is rendered at last, its substance remaining under it, but transforming in qualities, that they say is the element and principle of things that are. …For it is necessary that there be some nature (φύσις), either one or more than one, from which become the other things of the object being saved..." Aristotle. Metaphysics. Originally Thales of Miletus
Art is a selective re-creation of reality according to an artist's metaphysical value judgements.
Ayn Rand
Our theme today has been shadows and appearances. In the previous three photographs we've looked at Plato, the psychology of perception, surrealism and Giorgio de Chirico's Metaphysical Art.
Those of you with a background in art history will instantly recognise the de Chirico tropes in this image - steps, elongated shadow, disquieting colour and a lack of people.
The colour palette I have chosen is also very similar to one of the most famous paintings of the modern era, "The Scream" by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch (1863-1944). You may not have heard of Munch, but you have most definitely seen an image of his Scream.
[There's actually one hidden in this picture somewhere, but I'll make you look more closely to find it than the previous photograph.]
"There is something about the light, the heat (physical and perhaps metaphysical), the vibrancy of street life, and the rawness and disjointedness of much of the tropical world that has moved and disturbed me - in places where the indigenous culture is often transformed by an external northern culture ..."

This shot was taken at Akko, Israel.
The city of Acre (Akko) is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, dating back to the time of the Pharaoh Thutmose III (1504-1450 BCE).
It is a city of intrigue, where you can walk through labyrinthine alleys and streets and explore the remnants of Crusader, Muslim and Ottoman conquerors. Walking along the walls of the city, you also get a spectacular view of the sea and, on clear days, the city of Haifa.
