Notes from Source: Red dramatizes its ambivalence about Stesichoros’ “undo[ing] the latches” through its portrayal of Geryon’s relationship with writing, which is explored in conjunction with aUusions to the encroaching effects of the existential state of Mitwelt2 and psychoanalytic mappings of desire (5). Since writing reproduces “conformfity” to the semiological system, Geryon’s turn to the photographic essay as a medium, “shift[s] the ground,” freely enabling his autobiographical impulse (Barthes 467).
