“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

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

“Words and images drink the same wine.
There is no purity to protect.”
Marlene Dumas, Sweet Nothings: Notes And Texts

Friedrich Nietzsche
“(133) Night and music. - The ear, the organ of fear, could have evolved as greatly as it has only in the night and twilight of obscure caves and woods [...]: in bright daylight the ear is less necessary. That is how music acquired the character of an art of night and twilight.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, A Nietzsche Reader

Wim Wenders
“That's how it begins, making a film, writing a book, painting a picture, composing a tune, generally creating something.
You have a wish.
You wish that something might exist, and then you work on it until it does.”
Wim Wenders, The Logic of Images: Essays and Conversations
