Harpa

préférant l'imperfection vraie et spontanée à la perfection artificielle et lourde, l’Alexandrite, verte à la lumière naturelle, vire au rouge à la lumière artificielle. babe paley, lee radziwill, felicien rops. i too lived in Arcadia. un blizzard coloré et violemment violet. les vignes du tapis donnent l’impression de venir s’enrouler autour de ses chevilles, ses pieds sont allés se coucher il y a déjà un bon moment. l’abomination devient proprement chorégraphique, on aurait pu entendre tomber une aiguille. mon imagination est si dense que je dois y aller à la machette. la jungle épaisse pleine de fausses promesses de dormir en paix.

questionnaire magazine PURPLE summer 1999
+ mes réponses préférées...


01.What is your sex?

All sexuality is fluid; all characteristics are like lingerie; all roles are imaginary like fantasies.

02.Where are you now?

I am standing in a boat as big as the ocean. I am waving to you. Can you see me? Now I am with you now.

03.What’s your favorite year since 1968?

une année virtuelle, un “best of” des meilleurs moments depuis 1968

04. Do you think the 90’s ever exist? What proof can you offer?

les années 90 en France sont les années au cours desquelles ont été mises en place les nouvelles structures d’une société libérale : plus de circulation d’argent et moins de travail, plus de Mercédès achetées et plus de gens dans la misère, l’établissement d’un consensus conformiste qui va de la référence constante à la famille à l’attrait naïf pour l’exotisme (le Japon, l’Afrique; les homosexuels, etc.).

05.
Is your definition of “free time” uncommitted space to fill up? If so, what does that say about the idea that artists are never in vacation? And what does that say about the connections between leisure, bordom, and guilt?

je n’ai jamais le sentiment qu’il faut remplir le temps. L’important, c’est d’en avoir.

06.
Can you describe the reasons why you make art and how those reasons have changed, if they have, over time?

instinct. satisfaction. icecubes and a very fat tire
parce que je n’ai pas envie de faire autrechose et que c’est une bonne façon de recycler l’ennui.

07.
How do you decide when a project is worth realizing?

When i get great pleasure just to think about it. when it feels right. when it feels right in the gut, so to speak, and in the mind. I rely heavily on feeling and inner sense-intuition.




08.
In the West, we seem to have developed a conception of culture whiwh positions it as something used by children to form themselves. Children absorb music, movies, TV, etc... to create identities. One use witch adults have for culture is to sell it to children, and thereby, in effect, to live off children. Other than these commercial transactions, what is that adults use culture for?

this is too long a question

09.
An artist, writer, filmmaker, or musician that particularly inspires you at the moment?

All my friends are very important. they are making incredible break-thoughs.



10. What is the image that counts the most for you? (please describe or send one)

too many to cite here. as circumstances change, the images vary. ça change tout le temps, un peu comme ma chanson préférée.

11. When you wake up in the middle of the night, how do you occupy time and space?

my mind is contained by the limits of the body, it extends out to the walls of the room I am in. My eyeballs are hudge. Time does not tick like fractured seconds on a clock face but blows like wind. motion occurs only at perpendicular angles.



12.Should you? When?

il faudrait, plutôt tout de suite.

13. Have you ever experienced the madness of the unexpected?

we would hardly define it as madness -yes.

14.What would you do if you inherited a million dollars?

protect myself from ever needing to work for money again. then i would built some utopias or desillusions.

15. One of your favorite hotels?

the hotel room in my head.
