Boredom Makes You Do Crazy Things
"The camera transforms everything it captures into something that is past." (Anton Kaes)While my need to complete uni work has restricted my time to partake in the creation of art, the past few days led me to once again open the doors to another form of art - the art of procrastination.
In doing so, I came across the 'Truisms' of Jenny Holzer. Yes, an artwork that presents a series of true statements.
While I think they vary in their 'trueness', some are worth reading, so here are just a few of the favourites:
Absolute submission can be a form of freedom
Boredom makes you do crazy things
Confusing yourself is a way to stay honest
Dreaming while awake is a frightening contradiction
Eating too much is criminal
Illness is a state of mind
Salvation can't be bought or sold
Pursuing pleasure for the sake of pleasure will ruin you
The new is nothing but a restatement of the old
Thinking too much can only cause problems
You should travel light
My own truism?
Embrace the present, too soon will it become our memory
In Him
Chelsea
