Personal stories

This answers some of my questions raised during my participation in Tino Sehgal’s These Associations at Tate Modern.

“…people are interested only in themselves. If the story in not about the hearer he will not listen. And I here make a rule – a great and lasting story is about everyone or it will not last. The  strange and foreign is not interesting – only the deeply personal and familiar.”
