Exhausted Silence from Cooking


Thinking about the present, what remains in art?
The first part of the question looks at the representations of apparent reality, in which there is no smooth image, behind which there is no hidden pain and indignation. Then the second part immediately jumps out, enclosed in the first: it is tolerable in the contemporary to propose to the gaze of others, images of a creative process placed caged in front of the viewer, against the modern function of art, to often attest only complicity to a reality-garbage?
It takes an unfair thought here to make art re-live and at the same time awaken us - as with a slap of truth - to re-consider the artistic operation beyond its material form, in its "relational" aspect.
