Berlin, 9. März 2023

Maybe it is not the destructiveness of the volcano that pleases most, though everyone loves a conflagration, but its defiance of the law of gravity to which every inorganic mass is subject. What pleases first at the sight of the plant world is its vertical upward direction. That is why we love trees. Perhaps we attend to a volcano for its elevation, like ballet. How high the molten rocks soar, how far above the mushrooming cloud. The thrill is that the mountain blows itself up, even if it must then like the dancer return to earth; even if it does not simply descend—it falls, falls on us. But first it goes up, it flies. Whereas everything pulls, drags down. Down.

— Susan Sontag, The Volcano Lover (1992), p. 33-34

Originality? | Am I saying that art must be original? No. All we have is the thesis that art must have its origin in aesthetic insight. But insight need not be original. Given some insight, it is possible that someone else had a similar insight a year before. Originality is a relational matter. It is a matter of the relation of ideas and works of art to other ideas and works of art.

Berlin, 19. Januar 2023

Wie alles sich zum Ganzen webt,
Eins in dem andern wirkt und lebt!
Wie Himmelskräfte auf und nieder steigen
Und sich die goldnen Eimer reichen!
Mit segenduftenden Schwingen
Vom Himmel durch die Erde dringen,
Harmonisch all´ das All durchklingen!

Welch Schauspiel! Aber ach! ein Schauspiel nur!
Wo fass´ ich dich, unendliche Natur?
Euch Brüste, wo? Ihr Quellen alles Lebens,
An denen Himmel und Erde hängt,
Dahin die welke Brust sich drängt -
Ihr quellt, ihr tränkt, und schmacht´ ich so vergebens?

— Goethe, Faust I, Nacht (1808)
