Headlessnness
The term "headless" is also completely shared by Art and Philosophy. "Headless" does not mean stupid, silly, or without intelligence; "headless" does not mean being ignorant. I am not an ignorant artist – better not be ignorant, as an artist! ... I am and want to be a headless artist. I want to act – always – in headlessness; it's something important to me. I want to make Art in headlessness. "Headlessness" stands for doing my work in a rush and precipitously. Other words for headlessness are restlessness, insisting and insisting again heavily, acceleration, generosity, expenditure, energy (Energy = Yes! Quality = No!), self-transgression, blindness, and excess.
