Brain Food #430

Nothing is unimaginable

Daily Brain Food.

Thoughts of the day

Today I bring you some comfort in the form of art.

Jenny Holzer, one of the modern art scene’s most prolific creators, became famous for combining text with other material, the words taking centre stage in the vast majority of her work.

We find solace in art, whatever the form, either because it presents a scenario so horrific that it immediately diminishes our own pains, or because it simply understands us, and gives us something to connect with. Reading or seeing something written in the past that unexpectedly captures the present state of the world is just a reminder that nothing is unimaginable, but also that nothing is unsurpassable.
