What relationship is there between human struggle and a work of art? The closest and for me the most mysterious relationship of all. Exactly what Paul Klee meant when he said: ‘You know, the people are missing.’ The people are missing and at the same time, they are not missing. The people are missing means that the fundamental affinity between a work of art and a people that does not yet exist is not, will never be clear. There is no work of art that does not call on a people who does not yet exist. — Gilles Deleuze, “What is the Creative Act?” in Two Regimes of Madness: Texts and Interviews 1975-1995 (Cambridge, MA: The MIT Press), 324.
