“The Artwork as Misunderstanding
There is a crisis with regard to Representation. They are looking for Meaning as if it was a thing. As if it was a girl, required to take her panties off as if she would want to do so, as soon as the true interpreter comes along.
As if there was something to take off.”
Marlene Dumas, Sweet Nothings: Notes And Texts

“Was für eine armselige Gestalt er abgibt. Steht da mit verzerrtem Gesicht, seine eine Hand hält die, mit der er gerade die Türscheibe eingeschlagen hat. Es gelingt ihm nicht, mich anzuschauen. Ob er blutet, frage ich ihn. Natürlich blutet er. Ich sehe ja überall die Spritzer. Schon als das erste Wort meinen Mund verlässt, weiß ich um die Unnötigkeit meiner Frage. Aber mehr Empathie schaffe ich gerade nicht. Er widert mich zu sehr an. Mein Mitleid ist schon lange aufgebraucht.”
Paulina Czienskowski, Ein Manifest gegen die emotionale Verkümmerung

Wim Wenders
“Stories give people the feeling that there is meaning, that there is ultimately an order lurking behind the incredible confusion of appearances and phenomena that surrounds them. This order is what people require more than anything else.”
Wim Wenders, The Logic of Images: Essays and Conversations

Patti Smith
“There's always new stuff, that's for sure.”
Patti Smith , Just Kids

Friedrich Nietzsche
“Making plans. - To make plans and project designs brings with it many good sensations; and whoever had the strength to be nothing but a forger of plans his whole life long would be a very happy man: but he would occasionally have to make a rest from this activity by carrying out a plan - and then comes the vexation and the sobering up.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, A Nietzsche Reader
