Reflection of Jacques Derrida

Kant believed frame is accessory, such as the frame of paintingthe columns of the building. Derrida thought that the frame defines the opposition of inside and outside part. Frame will guide the viewer's attention to the center content of the work, which use to differ from the world outside the frame. It is the frame to construct the central meaning of the work. Frame is everywhere. It is not just art having the frame. It is also in our life. All things are working around frame.

There are a lot of opinions that I am really interested in, like he thought there is no singular origin. Life is a cellular process, so I started to think what thing is the first birth in the world. I am really curious about it. I heard a question before, “Are the eggs come first or the chicken comes first”?

Also, the label example makes me really resonated. People will not help to see the label when they are looking at the painting works. Then they will automatically give the content of the label to the works, and they will have the feeling: “yeah, that is right”. However, if the label cannot be found, people will be worried. They feel that they can’t really understand the work. Such preconceptions often make us really far away from the real understanding of a piece of work.

I think deconstruction is not only a form of art, but also to break the shackles and the limitation of artistic creation. The artist should be open-minded. Art should not have bound but have creativity and flexibility. We should do a variety of interesting attempt through divergent thinking.
