Art wants to be one of the social players, and as a medium of research to bring about changes, among others by a method of critical reflection. This aspiration is based on a feeling of involvement, but what is the range of such a critical attitude? A trip to Palestine, the West bank; Gaza would be best. It all seemed to fit and be a good plan. The reports on the Israeli attack on Gaza were shocking. The pointlessness of it, the feeling of powerlessness about it, caused a temporary involvement. Not with the people, but with the apathy concerned, the apathy of one’s personal situation. Commitment is an exercise against intertia.
