Nevertheless, I persist, trying to construct meaningful pictures that solicit identification with, and reflection on Black existential realities... Robert Johnson´s blues are a musical equivalent. Their undeniable spiritual power is at once irreverently profane, formally complex, viscerally accessible, and hauntingly beautiful.« (In a letter to Arthur Jafa written in the summer of 1994; documenta X-Short Guide) |
