Nakedness knows no Stipulation
The Image, the Word and the Rewriting of the Skins
Now that the skins have been scraped and smoothed– and the sheep, thumping and remembering the silent portals in the glaring light of time – in search of the right questions.
The great narratives, it is said, have been told to the end. But in view of the increasingly pressing questions about the future and the new “artificial intelligences” that mirror, imitate, and challenge our own humanity, it seems essential to reformulate the age-old questions: questions about meaning and faith, about suffering and finitude, about beauty, goodness, and truth; questions about love and charity, happiness and justice, dignity and vitality, utopia and possibility. In short: questions about what we believe ourselves to be—and about who we want to be as humanity, now and in the future that has already begun.
Thus, philosophy returns to the image: not to explain it, but to reopen it. Perhaps the task of the image today is to be an interruption. A pause in the noise. A brief pause that does not explain the human, but makes it tangible.
In addition, the space between the images – the fugue – is interesting. The recognition of correlations is revealing. In this sense, the work groups shown on this website are individual thematic components that are interrelated in varying ways depending on the exhibition venue and format.
