12 notes"I began to work as an artist when I began to be an adult, when I understood that my childhood was finished, and was dead. I think we all have somebody who is dead inside of us. A dead child. I remember the Little Christian that is dead inside me."
— Christian Boltanski
14 notes"You are no longer trembling, carcass.”

It is living and ceasing to live which are imaginary solutions.
Existence is elsewhere."
— Andre Breton, Surrealist Manifesto 1924
