“在观念艺术创作中,当对于诠释的依赖令作品余韵尽失,观念本身也流于知识堆砌而外化于艺术创作。亨罗特的创作固然非常西方中心(包括对知识体系的迷恋),却也明白自身的谬误。”

“our originality is our hunger, and our greatest misery is that this hunger is felt but not intellectually understood.”
“For the European, it is a strange tropical surrealism. For the Brazilian, it is a national shame.”

But the desire for a better life is not a piece of furniture adorning the bourgeois interior. On the contrary, this desire has been confined to the dark hole of culture in order to make sure that it will not be realized. The domestication of utopian desire took place because its confinement within the boundaries of privacy precisely ensured that there it could not cause any change of political and economic power structures. The proliferation of individualistic lifestyle identity politics is such an instance of the domestication of desire. It is the interior design of utopian liberalism, dominated by the rules of economy and its tacit consent with oppression.
