You start out happy that you have no hips or boobs. All of a sudden you get them, and it feels sloppy. Then just when you start liking them, they start drooping. ↗

...the age of surveillance is only a symptom of the new hyper-narcissism that has infected our collective reality tunnels. We invite the surveillance cameras into our homes because they are proof that someone is paying attention to us. ↗

I'm an observer. I read about life. I research life. I find a corner in a room and melt into it. I can become invisible. It's an art, and I am a wonderful practitioner. ↗

Here, in Lorrain's poisoned little jewel of a tale (“The Man Who Made Wax Heads”) the consummate achievement of decadent art is caught in miniature. The genius of the artist entangles perpetrators and victims in a sticky web of perverse delights, in which exploitation becomes collusion, the ripples of guilt spread outward, and the real criminal slips away. In the end, responsibility is lodged firmly with the consumer, forced – he must confess – by his own perverse desires, to buy into the values of this particularly black market. ↗

Pero, para colmo, nadie te podrá garantizar lo porvenir, porvenir que en cualquier caso es triste: si fracasás, porque el fracaso es siempre penoso y, en el artista, trágico; si triunfás, porque el triunfo es una especie de vulgaridad, una suma de malentendidos, un manoseo; convirtiéndote en esa asquerosidad que se llama un hombre público, y con derecho (¿con derecho?) un chico, como vos mismo eras al comienzo, te podrá escupir.Y también deberás aguantar esa injusticia, agachar el lomo y seguir produciendo tu obra, como quien levanta una estatua en un chiquero ↗

Perversion is just another form of art. It's like painting or drawing or sculpting. Except instead of paint, us perverts use sex as our medium.  ↗
