“These conflicts are very large. They involve governments, nations, large groups of people. It affects everyone, everything: the economy, how you relate to others, what you like and what you don’t like. It generates emotions in you, and these emotions then become something concrete: like, the way that you react, the decisions you make, what you support and what you don’t support, what you identify with and what you don’t identify with. These things affect everyone to a certain degree. And then it’s up to you to determine how this thing is going to affect you and how much you’re going to react to it.”

(Jennifer Allora, “ ‘Clamor’ and War Music”, Art21, November 2011)
