About The World = Dialogue

In “The world = Dialogue”, the artist investigates the concept of dialogue (including its absence) and puts it as a prerequisite at the core of our very existence, To Deguenon, a dialogue is not a discourse, a line of reasoning, nor a compromise or conclusion. Its rather a sincere and continuous exchange of ideas or needs between any actor in our current contemporary world, be it humans, animals, plants or any other actor. Its a cross-examination with a true willingness to reach out to share, understand and support the other. It allows to constantly re-balance and reshape the world we live in. 

As such dialogue is revealed in the order and balance of nature, in the harmony of a village, in the specificity of a community, in the solidarity around a project, or as an injustice, as it is revealed in the disorder created by its absence
