Rahele, second attempt
No, I wasn’t satisfied with the first attempt. Although I appreciated the results of the various Raheles—their performances, their voices, the alignment with the content, and the musical composition—I felt that the character himself needed to take on a different typology.
Depending on whether the latent space can offer a more fitting character—based on a different drawing I provided to the AI—I must decide whether Rahele remains aligned with the auctorial ‘I,’ or whether that position must be transferred to another figure.

In my simplicity, it had seemed to
me as though
I were looking down at myself from
the stage.Looking down from the stage,
I saw little Anselino
standing to the right of Rahele,
and to his left, Maria.When I said, "my name is Rahele,"
he looked at Rahele,
who looked up at me—and laughed.What a coincidence, that we both
bear the same
name—certainly not a common one.I remember telling the military doctor
that even then, in
my simplicity, it had seemed to me as
though I were looking
down at myself from the stage.And with that, I cannot escape the
question
of original and forgery.In my simplicity, it had seemed to
me as though
I were looking down at myself from
the stage.
