the artist’s task

The artist’s task is not to make people moved or indignant at metaphorical situations, but to make them reflect on what they and others are doing, on the real things, as they are.

The world goes on getting worse because we are not truly aware of reality. The most authentic or moral position anyone can take up today is to engage himself in tracing the roots of this problem. The keenest necessity of our time is ‘social attention’.
