Résumé : |
The moment right now, its a tragically regressive time we live in, you know. We just grounded the Concorde. Wheres the future ? Weve lost the future. Its like we dont even have a need of the future in a way that the last century was all about it
Im very jealous of an era where people were inventing something so beautiful as the Concorde and thinking thats the next step. Im jealous of an era when people thought, Lets finally go to the Moon. How insane is it to think like that ? Cold War or not, somebody had to believe that could work, then the propaganda, and then people went, probably for the hell of it.
The future isnt as optimistic as it once was, so people dont aestheticize it like they once did. Its not looked at so sanitarily, so neat and clean. Ive made a poster at home. You know the iconic image of Che Guevara, the black and red graphic of his face ? I think it is the perfect graphic, the best graphic ever made. I cut a Concorde out and put it over his head so its Che looking up and the Concorde going by. Both are dead, maybe obsolete. How can two once so powerful ideas relate back to us in a productive way now ? Maybe by not expecting too much from them but by gently following their trails. Aleksandra Mir interviewed by Christopher Bollen THE BELIEVER, San Francisco, December 03 / January 04. [couverture] |
