The Carcer of a Dancefloor

It is interesting to observe the layout of Berghain’s Funktion-One sound system. The stacks are profiled exactly like the columns of Carcer. Geomantically, Carcer is the figure of Saturn in Capricorn, domiciled, cold and dry, where matter closes upon itself. The stacks stand aligned like votive stones of an underground temple, projecting waves that shape the space like walls of sound. Everything inside is vibration imprisoned in form.

Carcer comes from the Latin root meaning “enclosure, barrier, place of confinement.” From it descend incarceration, incarcerate, the act of being enclosed within limits. It is the figure of Saturn in his purest essence, the lord of boundaries, of finitude, of the irreversible flow of time.

In astrology, Saturn finds one of his domiciles in Capricorn, the cardinal Earth. He is at home in density, in the element that bears weight and resists movement. Capricorn is matter in its most structured form. It is cold, hard, enduring, the perfect mirror for Saturn’s leaden temperament. It is the weight that holds the Spirit down to matter, binds it to the world, fastens it by the feet so it may not levitate. And those same feet, paradoxically, are the ones that dance there, within his sphere, sometimes so light they feel transparent.
