Dark thoughts in art: The case of I'm the Wrongdoer
The article discusses retired artist Mohamed Rizky's stance regarding his old songs and his disavowal of them. He describes these songs as his personal mistakes and believes that it is difficult for the audience to forget them, especially since these songs were an important part of his generation's memory and hold significant emotional and cultural value. The article criticizes the negative attitude some artists impose towards their past work, considering their attempt to seize the collective memory or erase old songs as a form of intellectual guardianship, neglecting the audience's right to remember works that have contributed to their cultural heritage. It highlights that art possesses both historical and psychological significance, and rejection or disavowal of it reflects personal and ideological struggles. Such attitudes only prolong the ongoing debate about the audience's right to enjoy an artist’s past works. The article concludes by noting that true retirement is a quiet retreat, while battles over memory and archives reignite the controversy over the audience's right to enjoy older artistic works.
