| Abstrakt: |
We present the notion of a childhood memory that is both the animating element in the thinking of the subject, namely the artist, and its rooting in the world. The memory has something mysterious or inexplicable in itself. The image it carries is singular (it is someone's recollection of something in his or her life) and yet it acquires a universal echo in others. The memory becomes an extraordinary psychic image for the one of whom it is not a personal memory. This memory is not definitively comprehensible; it is a memory of something moving, questionable, difficult to pronounce. Its character is anonymous, despite its birth in an individual life; it is a memory that is not actually a "memory" but a universal image through which a relation to self and being (of the world) is possible. Despite the solitary nature of these images and their dreaming, it is possible, in a sense, to build a certain sociality and morality of action on these images. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
