When men are finally rid of all responsibility, all commitment and all courage, then perhaps they will be able to live fully in their artificial world.
A joyful, ideal, festive world: Wonderful World. This New World, which opens like a giant amusement park, will make way for superheroes, the new universal idols, who live in unconditional freedom.
The rules of the game are set out: permanent entertainment, a necessary infantilisation, absolute virtuality, widespread happiness...
In this wonderful world, where reality no longer exists and where it is possible to be someone else, how can we not watch with irony the schizophrenic delirium of these men who have become Mickeys, Batmans, Scrooges or Pinocchios?
Wonderful World is a contemporary mirror, reflecting either a simple sarcastic fable or a disturbing reality if we do not take care.
Conversation with Paul Jorion and Paul Ardenne.
