Quote: The Film Is The Talking
By David Lynch
As soon as you finish a film, people want you to talk about it, and it's um... The film is the talking. The film is the thing. So you go see the film. That's the thing. It's the whole thing. And it's there. And that is it.
Excellent quote from David Lynch that in his opinion the artist's work should sit alone and be allowed to speak for itself. Related to the death of the author, but on the author's side.
From a Bluesky post by Abigail Larson in response to:
It annoys me when artists don’t name their work.
Surely there was a feeling, an emotion, that drove the artwork. When correcting party of it, it wasn’t correct because it didn’t convey or capture…….. ?
