“the real why”
Why has wondering become an essentially private affair?
Lawrence Rinder 1999
… Someone who asks such questions doesn’t finish his laps, will go neither forward or backwards, or around in a circle. He does not want to have to produce art. He is a radical counter-figure to the dominant tendencies for planning, career-moves and adjustment. As an author he is neither a riser or a drop-out: he is on strike.
Paolo Bianchi 2000
