Repolitization and Incarnation
We live in the time when is not solely important to make
a work of art, but to question the conditions of our lives,
the way how our lives are produced. The point of repolitization
of our lives is not to be stuck just to naked life! With
a subtle analysis of contemporaneous worlds, we see radical
art is no more fighting against nature, so to speak, but
must fight much more a sort of new barbarians of profit
and global-capitalism’s xenophobia. I would like
to be very precise at this point; I am much more compelled
to think about me as the citizen of the world. If I put
the thing in such a way, as everybody is saying, “mind
your own business and not interfere in our domestic things!”
then we will be very soon forced to see that not everybody
can be a citizen of the world. Only to few is reserved
this privilege, the other(s), cannot be citizens even
in a proper city, if they are homeless, terminal ill people,
refuges and immigrants.
