Mortality and Absurdity in Art

This chapter features a conversation between an orderly and a painter, exploring the painter's critique of traditional art and societal attitudes toward life and death. Set in a stark waiting room of the Federal Bureau of Termination, the dialogue uses dark humor to reflect on the normalization of terminating pregnancies and the absurdity of consumer obligations. Through witty exchanges and satirical commentary, it sheds light on the existential weight of survival and societal norms surrounding mortality.
