Can some details forgotten in the mill of our mind
delicately reveal how things would have gone wrong by chance

QUESTIONS BY ALEX SVI
BACKGROUND
Chance and chance alone has a message for us.
Everything that occurs out of necessity, everything expected,
repeated day in and day out, is mute.
Only chance can speak to us.
Milan Kundera
The Unbearable Lightness of Being
With Anton Ehrenzweig, in The Hidden Order of Art,
the creative process is described as a temporary, obligatory psychosis.
That the artist is "crazy" is therefore not a coincidence: it is a necessity.
Most often, he will not remain in a state of madness;
he will only pass through it; sometimes he lingers.
But his artistic standard still requires him to go through an essential syncope,
a real collapse of the mind, from which the new will come out.
Better: from this chaos only the new can emerge.
This eclipse that breaks the consciousness is the very condition of the creative act
Catherine Clément
La syncope
I usually work really instinctively
and it's afterwards that I think about what it means.
I don't know consciously that I have these themes that run through my work.
Nan Goldin
