Art is eating itself

Trying to hold onto Year Zero will always be futile, like trying to catch water. If, as Jung believed, art ‘gives shape to the dominant trends of the age’, this is it. We are the epoch of the great destroyers, swinging sledgehammers without regard. It is all around us, in our art, in everything we sweep onto the rubbish heap of our civilization.
