Quotes

What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is related only to objects and not to individuals, or to life.

Why should the lamp or the house be an art object, but not our life? Michel Foucault
What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is only related to objects, and not to individuals, or to life. Michel Foucault
From the idea that the self is not given to us, I think there is only one practical consequence: we have to create ourselves as a work of art. Michel Foucault
