THE BLANK CONTEMPORARY ART
99 WORDS WITH RENÉE VAN TRIER

“THIS AIN’T DISNEYLAND
NO CARTOON CHARACTERS HERE
NO PRINCESSES WHO SAVE THE DAY
JUST STRUGGLES AND LONELINESS IN OUR WAY
BEING EXCLUDED IS THE WORST THING TO HAPPEN
EMPATHY IS HARD WORK
EMPATHY IS PAINFULL
LESS AND LESS ROOM FOR ANIMALS TO CHASE
LESS AND LESS ROOM TO CALL HOME
WE FELL ON DEAF EARS
WE TAKE MORE THAN WHAT WE NEED
NATURE HAS THE LAST LAUGH
YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO RETURN TO YOUR ORIGINAL STATE”

“I WANT THE BEST FOR MY CHILDREN”
