to overstep the bounds - curated by Kelly Krugman

A curation by Kelly Krugman, Curator and Cultural Worker at SAVVY Contemporary - “There is always some limit which the individual accepts. He identifies this limit with himself. Horror seizes him at the thought that this limit may cease to be. But we are wrong to take this limit and the individual’s acceptance of it seriously. The limit is only there to be overreached. Fear and horror are not the real and final reaction; on the contrary, they are a temptation to overstep the bounds.” ― "Erotism: Death and Sensuality" (1956) by Georges Bataille, French writer and philosopher
