EN: “Practice serenity, Mrs. Woolf,” they said to Virginia Woolf. “Culture has to make money, too,” says the simpleton. “I don’t have time,” almost everyone says. And that “time is money.” So does a cultural worker have to work time? Speed, which is supposed to save time and thus save money, is thus supposed to create the conditions for the creation of both, and individuals to survive. In the sonority of inhaling and exhaling, the acceleration of vitality, modernity is condensed. The rhythm of the surviving force sounds in the trembling of the tongue. Listening to a female individual means listening to the whole world.

SI: “Vadite se umirjenosti, gospa Woolf,” rečejo Virginii Woolf. “Tudi kultura mora delati denar,” reče tisti prostak. “Nimam časa,” reče tako rekoč vsakdo. Pa da “čas je denar.” Mora torej kulturnica delati čas? Hitrost, ki naj bi čas privarčevala in torej privarčevala denar, naj bi s tem ustvarila pogoje za ustvarjanje obeh, posameznici pa preživetje. V zvočnosti vdiha in izdiha, akceleraciji vitalnosti, se zgošča sodobnost. V tresavici jezika zveneči ritem preživetvene sile. Poslušati posameznico pomeni poslušati cel svet.
