Joseph Beuys – Thoughts

Joseph Beuys – Thoughts

the nomadic, shamanic image of a perception of the world on this side of the measurable Western culture, which in rejecting everything else, is just as DOGMATIC as the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages.

Nature: place of imagination and profound experiences.

THE WORLD IS THE EXPRESSION OF CREATIVE ENERGY, OF A SPIRIT THAT SAYS EVERYTHING.

SHOW YOUR WOUND (courage / awareness of being vulnerable):

Plaster, garbage, tape: many wounds makeshift connect.

HASE (HARE): People kill by their way of life and production:

They kill hares (ie animals),

they kill plants,

they kill the soils,

they kill the waters.

They destroy the lifelines of nature and the world.

The HARE representative of all nature is an ORGAN OF MAN, without which man can not live;

Mankind needs the forest as a lung,

he needs the grain as food,

he needs the diverse animal world to become fertile-become the earth.

EVERYDAY OBJECTS

Beuys also bows to banal objects (bottles, egg shells, etc.)

He transforms mundane things into magical ensembles by showing them and placing them in unfamiliar contexts, which then receive new meaning but also lead to abysses.

BURNING OF SOULS

Being hollow, emptied, de-fueled by capitalism.

SOCIAL PLASTICS

IN EVERY MAN, there is a creative potential, no matter what job he does.
