Jonathan Binet

I came upon Binet's work in a hallway at the Palais DeTokyo. He believes in the "Performative Act." According to  Derrida, "A performative act, in painting, could not be intentional or translatable into discourse: It would act, like a skeleton key does, without creating debt or promising truth."
