Just knowing that fish exist
Just the fish and that we are not even there to see them. Let no one relay what we already know and even what we don't know.
Civilization is better than culture.
To become civilised is to make the effort to develop within oneself the art of being liveable for others. It is the individual progressive act par excellence.
To praise cultures is to encourage tribalism and value-centred traditionalism. All cultures are the same, and they all come together in the same self-centredness that passes for uniqueness.

Coptic bacillus: "The innocence of Muslims"
"Innocence of Muslims". Good or bad, it doesn't matter. In no case a film or a work of art whatsoever deserves acts of repression.

Nothing to offer (except your beautiful lie)

| The love of another utopia | Hate in its time
Learning to vomit into the world's great trough, including the one overflowing with culture, is as vital as developing a love of utopia.

State Culture: National Scenes and Final Solution
When you create in a National Space, you don't meet the public, you meet the State. No artist can seriously claim to be free of it.

The cultural institution or the art of feeding the gullible middlemen
The paths of art cannot be traced in the footsteps of the voracious institution. Even less so those that only meander along infinite poetic breaks.

Earth!
"Earth! "is the cry of the shipwrecked man, the pirate, the sailor at the sight of an expected shoreline in the distance.
