Volumes – Detlef Günther

…the aureole seems to have lost its place among men, withdrawn itself into a distance from which it can no longer be retrieved, can no longer appear, or appear only in such a way that it acquires a completely new function in the visible – as a pure constellation in space, as a pure reference context that refers to nothing more than (in the meta-picture): transcendence. …

Detlef Günther, VOL_Dignity of Man (black)

…And the terms that appear here are substitutes – “what ever form”, “decision”, “what ever place”… for that which opposes us as indeterminacy in principle, which gains meaning only through the use, i.e. the development of a history of becoming, and how we deal with it. On its own, “what ever form” or “decision” or “heaven” or “from their mothers womb” is completely meaningless. Only when you work with it, it gains a kind of evolutionary dignity. It becomes becoming – and when it becomes becoming, it has the decisive power to concentrate on ourselves.
