The title derives from a 1964 writing of Jean Dubuffet "Carnival of Mirages".The sentance it comes from in full: When the gala day arrives, can't we emulate those Chinese conjurers by reaching into our heads, pulling out the iridescent scarves of incongruities, and decorating our homes with them, in tintinnabulation of the merry bells at the Carnival of Equivalences and Inconsistencies.
