Mon Manifeste
Personal manifesto vouching for the importance of all senses instead of the mere visual. Inspired by René Magritte’s Les mots et les images in which he
alludes
to the relationship between language and images.
Ceci n’est pas un manifeste.
C’est l’image d’un manifeste, mon manifeste. [mon-ifeste]
C’est l’image d’un manifeste, mon manifeste. [mon-ifeste]
This manifesto is based on my interpretation and perception. You might make other associations to the statements, which is more than fine. In fact, the whole point of this manifesto is to acknowledge the eloquence and power of multitude. None of our senses should ever be seen as ‘ill sources’ in favour of the mere visual. If there should be one takeaway from this manifesto, let it be that you allow yourself to look beyond the cellophane wrapper and be amazed by what you could potentially find inside, addressing all senses.
