Description

The emotional entanglement between the duality of Being and Having and the malaise of contemporary society is a rich subject for philosophical exploration. In the context of contemporary society, the notion of being and having can be considered a fundamental dichotomy. On the one hand, being refers to the state of existence, of being present in the world, of experiencing life in all its complexity. On the other hand, Having refers to the accumulation of possessions, wealth and status, which are often considered measures of success and happiness. However, this dichotomy can lead to a feeling of disconnection and alienation, as individuals focus more on accumulating possessions and wealth, rather than developing a sense of being and presence. . in the world. This can lead to feelings of emptiness and dissatisfaction, despite outward appearances of success. The concept of “having” can also be seen as a form of control, in which individuals attempt to exert power over their environment and others by accumulating property and wealth. This can lead to feelings of disconnection and isolation, as individuals focus more on their own interests and desires, rather than engaging with others and the world around them. In contrast, the concept of “being” can be seen as a more authentic and fulfilling way of existing in the world. It involves accepting the present moment and even cultivating a sense of awareness and connection with yourself and others. This can lead to a feeling of freedom and joy, as individuals are no longer bound by the need to accumulate possessions and wealth. The malaise of contemporary society can be seen as the result of this imbalance between Being and Having. As individuals become more focused on accumulating possessions and wealth, they become disconnected from themselves and others, leading to feelings of alienation and dissatisfaction. In contemporary art, this dichotomy is found in the work of artists who explore themes of consumerism, materialism and the human condition. For example, artists like Marina Abramovic and Tino Sehgal have created works that challenge the notion of ownership and possession and instead emphasize the importance of presence and connection. In philosophy, this dichotomy is found in the works of thinkers like Jean-Paul Sartre and Martin Heidegger, who explored the concept of being and its relationship to human existence. Sartre's concept of "bad faith" can be seen as a form of self-deception, in which individuals deny their own freedom and responsibility and instead seek to accumulate property and wealth to avoid the anxiety of existence . . Heidegger's concept of “being-in-the-world” can be seen as a more authentic way of existing, in which individuals are fully present and engaged in the world around them. This concept emphasizes the importance of connection and presence, rather than accumulation and possession. In conclusion, the emotional entanglement between the duality of Being and Having and the malaise of contemporary society is a complex and multifaceted issue. This requires a nuanced and philosophical approach, one that considers how our society's emphasis on accumulation and possession can lead to disconnection and alienation. By exploring the concept of Being and its relationship to human existence, we can advance a deeper understanding of the human condition and perhaps find a more authentic and fulfilling way of existing in the world. 2160 x 2160 px / mp4 / 45 s / 64,8 Mo / 12 frames 1/1 collection 06/10 #TP «Techne (τέχνη) Philia (φιλία)» a subrealist reread based on the masterpiece by : Achille parmi les filles de Lycomède Adrien Dassier - 1669 Original works On view at: Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, france sounddesigned by @mooname
