For me, art is life…

IMAGE: For me, art is life itself. I would like to emphasize that art is the way of life that lives the most intensely as a human being, unconditionally exuding life and exploding. "Art is (an) explosion"...but what I call (an) "explosion"...doesn't make a sound. Things don't fly away. Open your whole body and soul to the universe unconditionally. That's the "explosion". Originally, life should continue to explode moment by moment, gratuitously and aimlessly. It is the true way of life.

ぼくが芸術というのは生きることそのものである。人間として最も強烈に生きる者、無条件に生命をつき出し爆発する、その生き方こそが芸術なのだということを強調したい。“芸術は爆発だ”……が、私の言う「爆発」は……音もしない。物も飛び散らない。全身全霊が宇宙に向かって無条件にパーッとひらくこと。それが「爆発」だ。人生は本来、瞬間瞬間に、無償、無目的に爆発しつづけるべきだ。いのちのほんとうの在り方だ。 - 岡本太郎 (1911 - 1996): 『自分の中に毒を持て』
