Vas Paris on shock art

I do not want to change the world any more. But I do not want to join those who want to stop it from changing.

The art must give viewer a chance to look at things from a different angle. The angle can be a physical point of view, ironic or humorous approach, emotional state or any other that break away from ordinary. I do not have a problem with a shock art, but I do not feel that it is shocking any more. Perverted or vulgar presentation is really no longer shocking. We have seen it all. And looking for more in this direction is a looking for pass to nowhere. To me “shocking” is a discovery of a new rarely or never seen perspective, thought or emotion that was professionally and timely presented.
