Art is confrontation. It widens the audience’s reality, allowing them to glimpse life through a different window. One with the potential for a glorious new view.
Horizons have shrunk. Novelists and filmmakers seem far more at home with dystopias than with the possibility that the world might get better. The institutions that once fuelled our shared imagination have, for different reasons, given up, leaving public intellectual culture recycling old ideas, while much of politics has drifted into nostalgia.
You can tell because deer get bloated, don't know if that's a smell you really can get used to. Not like living on a dairy farm where you get used to it. Death has a smell all its own, it kind of lingers. — Shawn Kremsreiter
