Then we could wonder if the purpose of the artist is not the destabilise … Apparently Jan Fabre wants to show the world as it is, with its part of disgust. While awaking our senses and therefore creating strong emotions, the artist probably expects to make possible a larger communication between us and the world. https://riviste.unimi.it/index.php/itinera/article/view/8728 |
