    Most cultural institutions exist in imaginary space but have incredible power over people. The state, god, heirarchy, status, identity. I definitely think the unreal is way more present in our lives than people normally accept.

      I’m in art.

      Almost invariably, you show them a piece, they ask “what is it?”, “what does it mean?”.

      (Sometimes they even want an explanatory essay pinned to the wall next to the frame)

      Because the meaning, the dream-manifestation, is more important to them than the actual experience.

      For most of us, dreams are realer than reality.
