Le Mal aujourd’hui. Productions artistiques et rèflexions esthètiques

As the pictures documenting the catastrophe of 11 September 2001, so most contemporary artistic productions exhibit a "surplus" of cruelty and violence that is exempt from any possible representation, and then in every possible sense. Hence the tendency to overshoot, today, the distinction between art and life, with the prevalence of experiences that link no longer representation, always partial and inadequate, unrepresentable, but its presentation and direct immediata.Many contemporary artistic productions, as well as images documenting the September 11, 2001 catastrophe Excédence an exhibit of cruelty and violence That withdraws from any possible representation, and Therefore from any possible sense. Hence the tendency to overcome, today, the distinction between art and life, and the prevalence of experiences That no longer point to an always partial and inadequate representation of the unrepresentable, but to ITS direct and immediate presentation.

Come le immagini che documentano la catastrofe dell’11 settembre 2001, così molte produzioni artistiche contemporanee esibiscono una “eccedenza” di crudeltà e violenza che si sottrae a ogni possibile rappresentazione, e quindi a ogni possibile senso. Di qui il tendenziale superamento, oggi, della distinzione tra arte e vita, con il prevalere di esperienze che puntano non più alla rappresentazione, sempre parziale e inadeguata, dell’irrappresentabile, bensì alla sua presentazione diretta e immediata.
