Letters: The Courage to Live

Spiritual nourishment is found in the work of artists around us when society is in free fall. Our thought seeks a space to catch its breath. I remember Victor Pilon’s performance, which made me enter into a dialogue with reality: this river of time which relentlessly transports us, as described by Heraclitus. This performance, inspired by the myth of Sisyphus among the ancient Greeks and the essay by Albert Camus, puts us in front of an image of the human condition seen in accelerated time. Like this rock which, as soon as it is transported to the summit of the mountain, rolls towards the ground, and which one must constantly ascend to the summit; like this mound of sand, shoveled for hours by the artist, built and deconstructed in turn, it is Courage that challenges us all in a society in free fall.
