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.
