ART on a DESERT ISLAND
What is art but a sharpened sense of sounds, colors, shapes, relationships?
Art is a puzzle and a question about life.
On a desert island, the art of survival is the most valued:
How do you stay calm and survive with almost no resources?
On a desert island, it is an art to gaze at the beauty of nature and avoid danger.
On a desert island, it is an art to imagine every abundance in food, objects or company.
On a desert island, every creative work is declared art because there is no competition, nor are there any critics.
On a desert island there is no mystification of art except in one’s own head.
Every skill, discovery and performance becomes art.
On a desert island, the sun, moon, stars and sea are intense inspiration and muses.
A man on a desert island becomes a true artist because he knows that only his imagination can save him from boredom and waiting.
Art on a desert island is to invent your own company and entertainment.
Art is creating something out of nothing.
