ballard-bourgeois

January 19, 2025

We’re looking at the situation where bourgeois society is controlling everything, without exception. One looks at certain publications [that] interview young designers, artists, photographers. It asks them what they want and they say money and fame. Someone of 19 who can only sump up his own ambition in terms of money and fame — for god’s sake that’s the end, that’s the death of the spirit.

Thought:

“I’m filled with the sadness that afflicted the Roman patricians of the fourth century: I feel irredeemable barbarism rising from the bowels of the earth. …I have always tried to live in an ivory tower, but a tide of shit is beating at its walls, threatening to undermine it.”

Gustave Flaubert | in a letter to Ivan Turgenev
