Christology as the play of projection must remain in this kind of unnerving space that ORLAN creates. The Son’s incarnate entry into time requires he leave his equality with God behind, become nothing, a servant, a human unto death. The Christ who comes to us, the one in whose death and resurrection we participate simultaneously, is not yet our idealized projections. He may pass through those projections on his way to what he will be or he may swerve around them entirely. Still, we have to keep projecting as we yearn towards what’s there.
