Please Leave This World brings together a series of works in which artists react with certitude to immobility. Some are furtive actions, insurrections, which appear and immediately disappear so as not to be identified. Like a crystal knife – transparent, radical and fragile – these works have the ability to break the horror of our societies and to remind us that another condition is imaginable It would be a fantasy to think that art can really change the inflection that the human species is taking due to its excessive ambition and its power games in which there are more and more marginalized bodies. But yes, art truly does heal. It can be useful for living in this world rather than crossing a line and taking the decision to leave this wretched life.
