No photo

"NO ...." is the theme on this 1st of July, monthly theme day for City Daily Photo bloggers.
What if the ultimate response to the theme was NO PHOTO? Blogspot won't let me upload mine. But I have the perfect response to that: conceptual art. It is here, in this perfect vacuum, that the artist reveals the ultimate NO. Denied his work, the artist is denied any existence at all and so takes us with him in the downward spiral of void that leads to the perfect no : non existence. By letting us experience denial, emptiness and absence, he connects us with our ultimate fear, that of disappearing ourselves from the face of the Earth...
The art critics among you are welcome to expand on the subject of this mind-bogging (mind blogging?) experience. Others, when you've finished laughing, come back later for a new post - with photo.

En ce 1er juillet, le thème du mois pour les bloggeurs du réseau City Daily Photo est "NO ..." (ou "pas de ..."). Et si la réponse ultime à ce thème était "pas de photo" ? C'est ce qui m'arrive avec blogger qui refuse de faire monter la photo prévue. Mais j'ai la parade : l'art conceptuel. Car c'est ici, dans la sublime vacuité du vide, que l'artiste révèle l'aboutissement parfait du NON. Non existence, non être au monde : Par ce vide, cette absence criante, l'artiste dépossédé de son oeuvre nous donne à voir la négation de son être même et fait ainsi écho à l'angoisse universelle de l'être humain, celle de sa propre disparition...
J'invite les critiques d'art que vous êtes tous à enrichir cette analyse d'une rare profondeur.
Et quand vous aurez fini de rire, revenez plus tard pour un nouveau billet - avec photo !
