Trilogy of the Moderns
Partie III : A Wonderfful World
Exhibited at the Triennale di Milano, Italy, May 2012
A Wonderful World offers a new perspective on the universe of the Moderns, the one in which we are living today; a great park full of abstractions and attractions where everything is laid out for the tourist, arranged around the holidays of the West, designed to infantilise society. Rancinan attentively observes his contemporaries, eschewing cynicism and derision in favour of humour, realism and vivacity.
RANCINAN, La Trilogie des Modernes
There are monolithic visions when one
can only see one thing obsession, nothing enters
the visual field- neither comparison nor let on.
the apprehension, terror, stiffness, no give and take, the
will inflexible and blind like a robot - it is simply Fear.
I think fear to be rejected fear to fail
…
Death is helplessness
…
I cannot
make myself beloved therefore I attack. I cannot
find the energy to get dressed depression
I cannot face the day. The world is gray
I cannot go out, the world is empty. I cannot belive in tomorrow.
I turn off all the lights
I cannot bear looking at myself the self hate
it is night I cannot obtain - what I want -
I cannot change myself but I can bring death
upon myself - … - All this was unconscious
and I was living the Anxiety.
Louise Bourgeois
