Teixeira Coelho /// Tunga, Imaginary of the Concrete Sympathy as a way of thinking "Aesthetic concepts began to
interest me only when I perceived their existential roots, when I understood
them as existential concepts," admitted Milar Kundera in a recent
book. This does not necessarily mean that the esthetic concept,
and therefore art, is to be confused with life, but yes, that it is
a way of thinking it, as much as with art. It is the way art interests
me, many times: a way of thinking, of a thought with an artistic history.
A perspective that is even more valid when speaking of Tunga, who not
only approved Kundera's proposal but also said that sympathy (in his
language, another way of saying art) is a way of thinking. Better
than sympathy and more than that would be to say sympathetic: the feeling
provoked by something and the physical impression of this 'something'
on the body: disease – like the magnetic field in Palindrome Incest. |
