Jean Baudrillard, Fatal Strategies
Quotation from Jean Baudrillard's 'Fatal Strategies', p73: "All these figures that appear to be those of an exacerbated indifference, of an exacerbation of emptiness, of obesity, of terror, are also figures of the loss of illusion, play and scene, and therefore figures of the obscene. Loss of the scene of the body for the obese, loss of the scene of exchange for the hostage, loss of the sexual scene in obscenity, etc. But also an evanescence of the scene of the social, political and theatrical. And everywhere a loss of the secret, of distance, and of the mastery of illusion."
