"While established critical forms work on abstraction without actually transforming anything, fictional strategies always expose the discursive subject to the possibility of modification (sometimes even extinction). The subject in question is no longer an individual producer, but “a latent social subject for whom the individual artist acts as agent.” In other words, the one who goes to work is not exactly the same one who authors the situation: the distance between them is, in fact, the place where the work of fiction happens."

John Kelsey, “The Self-Employment Rate” in Rich Texts: Selected Writing for Art.
