“It's pretentious to say, but my art is like a little Zen story, a story with a question mark at the end. People can take from it what they need. If somebody says, "Your art is very funny," I say, "You are totally right." If somebody says, "Your art is very sad," I say, "You are totally right." In Japan they say, "Your art is very Japanese, you even look Japanese.Your great-grandfather was most surely a Japanese man." And I say, "You are totally right."” PeopleIfsMenNeedsLooksLittlesArtEndsStoriesArt IsMarkJapanGrandfatherPretentiousVery SadQuestion MarkGreat Grandfather Author:Christian Boltanski
