Thank God

"Kunst ist schön, macht aber viel Arbeit./ Art is beautiful, but it causes a lot of work." - Karl Valentin
"The audience tells the story along with the film. And something happens and eventually it changes." - Michael Tolkin

To me this aspect of art has always been the most important. Works of art that get me involved that are looking at me, just as I'm looking at them. This is what is great about Barnett Newman, my whole body responds, has to respond to what is going on. Or in a play, when two characters have an intense dialogue, a dispute. In the best case it's not about chosing one side or the other, but deeper, realising what's the essence of their struggle, what is the truth and then relating to this essence.
