“The idea of an individual
changing society is so abstract and mythological it borders on the imaginary,
and I work closer to the imaginary than you’re supposed to, I think, as
an artist, and it’s really almost a childlike idea to think you have
agency, and it’s embarrassing to express that notion of agency, but I
feel like I am this illustration of a person who has no role in society, who
was trained to be a manager of managers but has no prospects aside from a
vaguely defined massive social arena, where I’m occupied but not
employed, and I’m concerned with meta structures but I can’t
understand the most basic societal structures (employment again), where I
emerge from a lifetime of school and, not knowing what to do, continue to
behave as if I’m in school. ”
