Duchamp's Second Cut: Duchamp made the first cut. This is the second, and it bleeds differently.

Marcel Duchamp once said, “I don’t believe in art. I believe in artists.” With that single line, he dismantled the idolatry of the object and turned our gaze toward the creator’s intent. He taught us that art is not a thing, but a dialogue. Not a relic, but a question. I stand here to carry that dialogue further. As Duchamp noted, “The creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world.” In other words, the art is born in the encounter. It’s not the object, nor even the idea alone: it’s the meeting of eyes and essence.
