Fever Dreams - V. Van Gogh, the Suicide Provoked by Society by Antonin Artaud
Fever Dreams is a miniseries featuring works of fiction, essays and non-fiction read without embellishment or analysis. Literature was my first great artistic love, and I regard it as possibly the richest art form, with its ability to showcase the dark interior of humanity, and traverse time, place and space unlike any other medium. Fever Dreams features a selection of the macabre and the mundane, the fantastical and the concrete, works that have struck me in a meaningful fashion, and that I feel are worth sharing.Our fifth dream is Van Gogh, the Suicide Provoked by Society by Antonin Artaud, the French writer, poet, dramatist, visual artist, essayist, actor and theatre director, who himself was interned in asylums for nine years, at the end of which time he wrote this moving essay. This reading as an abridged version of selected passages from the full essay which can be read here.
