“Imagination is essential, it is sensual sensation.”

Imagination Sensuality Sensual Sensation

Author:Lebo Grand

“L’art a un rôle essentiel à jouer. Non pas au titre de divertissement ou de distraction – ce n’est pas son rôle, Nietzsche et Ionesco le mentionnaient déjà – mais en tant que machine de guerre totale contre l’univocité du sens. Il ne s’agit plus de commenter ou de comprendre le réel : il s’agit de produire du réel ! C’est beaucoup plus important. Ce qui tue aujourd’hui et avant tout, c’est notre manque d’imagination. Notre enlisement dans l’inertie. Nous avons bien davantage besoin d’artistes que d’ingénieurs face au désastre en cours : notre problème n’est pas technique, il est axiologique et ontologique. L’art, la littérature, la poésie sont des armes de précision. Il va falloir les dégainer.”
