Samenvatting

Art is a mirror of society. Thanks to our communication technology, which has made possible globalization and associated scaling-up, a few giants have emerged, leaving everyone else unintentionally ... dwarfs. In our world, the ordinary is sometimes ridiculously magnified. In Maurizio Cattelan 's famous ductaped banana, art does what I think it should do: touch emotions, encourage reflection and discussion. But here too the first outrage has increased enormously and the reflection that follows - the second thought - has seldom or not been heard.
