I Can Only Write About Dolphins

Joseph Kosuth - Art As Idea: Nothing (1968)

When you're out of control, place your head on the floor - she said - on the floor. With her tail in the air, her skull pushed from one side of the room to the other. Mental illness is like dolphin tricks without the training or applause. The skin like dolphins without the sheen, the eyes like dolphins without the eagerness, the conversation like dolphins without the glide. On second thought today was nothing like a dolphin. There is nothing like a dolphin. Nothing.
