But in another way, it is a story about how I work. It's about the text and the images and not about people. It's just another report from the laboratory. So I'm not so sure that the intimate is not political and the political is not intimate. The three things run the gamut from intimate to public.
Every work of art is political.
The difference may be whether it's political in spite of itself or not. It's interesting to hear you speak of a pre-conscious space, before the word and before the image. I know you're aware of the psychoanalytic approaches which consider the word as the law and the law as the representation of something that is gendered. You say that each time you come to your work, you start from scratch. You clear the way for a space out of which the work grows.
