Happiness
and Pretence*
|
As in its first edition, we want the MANIFESTATION to
be marked by a festive atmosphere. And we have decided
to broach the theme along three main vectors that we believe
indissoluble. The first is the criticism of happiness:
its hidden face, its bankruptcy, its blindness. Then there
is the sheer joy of expression, because the word happiness
can also designate “an artistic effect that, through
its intensity, contrasts with the extreme simplicity of
its means, imparting an impression of spontaneous and
almost accidental success¨1
Finally, and according to its closest definition, happiness
is simply good fortune.
