The most interesting stories.

August 24. 2014.

“Often the most interesting stories are ones which tell us things that we already know but haven’t yet articulated in our minds. Or more precisely, they encourage us to look at familiar things in different ways, as if to remind us of their true meaning; the way we live, the things we encounter, way we think and so on.

…

For me, that’s what creativity is — playing with found objects, reconstructing things that already exist, transforming ideas or stories I already know. It’s not about the colonization of new territory, it’s about exploring inwards, examining your existing presumptions, squinting at the archive of experience from new angles, and hoping for some sort of revelation. “ — Shaun Tan.
