The present work entitled "The transitory triumph of the contemporary art" was born from an accidental experience but rather unique in its kind. To understand, but even more to apprehend without certainty, the complex schemes which govern the world of the actual contemporary art by trying to bypass the obstacles of the practices and the genres, without caring finally of their finality. An experiment however risked, because it questions certain principles and critical foundations, in the absence of effective linearity with in base a simple formulation: What is an artist in the world of today? A matter of positioning and interpretation within a global world, but also fragmentary at the edge of the hope and the despair of the artistic practices, of the realities also, with in background the idea of a part of dream still to conquer in a new and durable way, in a time which wants to be at the same time ephemeral, as well as perennial and fertile. The transitory triumph of the contemporary art tries to bring some vain answers to an almost insoluble questioning of the human thought through the art.
