And Life Beings Right Away (je suis libre d'être libre) 1973

"And Life Begins Right Away (je suis libre d’être libre)" (1973) is a conceptual artwork by Robert Filliou. The piece consists of a cardboard box with a handwritten inscription on the inside. The text "And Life Begins Right Away" is presented in red marker, evoking a childlike sense of immediacy. This work is a prime example of Filliou's "Conceptual Art," where the concept itself is more important than the physical object. Filliou was known for using everyday materials and simple gestures to provoke thoughts about life, freedom, and creativity. He sought to encourage people to embrace their inner child and find joy in the simple things.
