Nomad Circle in Mongolia - Richard Long (1996)

[antiumanistica]

Si parla continuamente di solitudine e di incomunicabilità tra gli uomini. Ma nel mondo di oggi ciò che ci manca è appunto la solitudine che è considerata la colpa maggiore, e siamo obbligati a stare sempre in linea di comunicazione; potessimo comunicare la nostra incomunicabilità! Che altro vale la pena di essere comunicato? Potessimo interrompere la comunicazione!

Andrea Emo, Quaderni di metafisica (via antiumanistica)

Courage consists, however, in agreeing to flee rather than live tranquilly and hypocritically in false refuges. Values, morals, homelands, religions, and these private certitudes that our vanity and our complacency bestow generously on us, have many deceptive sojourns as the world arranges for those who think they are standing straight and at ease, among stable things.

Chris Burden. “Prelude to 220, or 110”. Still from Performance. 1971.

[lastdreamofjesus]

— Burden lay bolted with copper bands to a concrete floor, near two buckets of water in which live 110-volt lines had been submerged. Had anyone visiting the gallery chosen to spill the water, Burden would have been electrocuted. Such performances created a context in which it was possible (though not probable) that the artist would die. Fear or pain, Burden said, "energize the situation," and that energy was his subject.

Non ci manca certo la comunicazione, anzi ne abbiamo troppa; ci manca la creazione. «Ci manca la resistenza al presente».

A man must dream a long time in order to act with grandeur, and dreaming is nursed in darkness.
