Inspiration
mais le contexte est plus fort que le concept.
be regular and orderly in your life like a bourgeois so that you may be violent and original in your work. —gustav flaubert
Current events, national struggles, and sexualities are created, renewed, or canceled like sitcoms. and perhaps that makes some sense, since stupidity does seem to render everything from war to peace, from life to death, into one big and sometimes triumphant, sometimes tragic, sometimes sexy, but seldom unwatchable, situation comedy. and that's not funny. —barbara kruger
