Only the sea, murmurous behind the dingy checkerboard of houses, told of the unrest, the precariousness, of all things in this world.

Albert Camus, The Plague, 1947

It's this damnable precariousness that gets to me!

“A precarious regime of aesthetics is developing, based on speed, intermittence, blurring and fragility. Today, we need to reconsider culture (and ethics) on the basis of a positive idea of the transitory, instead of holding on to the opposition between the ephemeral and the durable and seeing the latter as the touchstone of true art and the former as a sign of barbarism.“

Nicolas Bourriaud, “Precarious Constructions. Answer to Jacques Rancière on Art and Politics”, Open, nº 17, 2009.
