Suddenness


Art is able to bring something incomprehensible to the world. Suddenly, individual subjectivity has made an encounter with something unknown. Suddenness marks a confusion of feelings with an event that cannot be measured, not even logically, by what is already in existence. In suddenness the individual subjectivity and the external world strike violently against each other. The transcience of this sudden moment is dramatic: it cannot last, nothing remains and as Blanchot tells us, it returns to the void it illuminates.
