Abstract

This work explores the theme of the artist’s ir/responsibility in three different areas. The first is with respect to the existing artistic canons, the second is related to ir/responsibility in sentimental life, the third is that of political irresponsibility. The position of the artist is continually compared with that of the psychoanalyst in the session. In the end, the artist appears to bear only one fundamental responsibility: that of producing his work.
