Z. Z. IV [Daily Sirens »1968« (2018). Inspired by Marc Wie]

["Fennel", Wolfgang Benz (2014)]

Nurture a deeper connection with what you love. Then suddenly your life will be exciting. [Yoko Ono]

                                             ["In Between", R. A. ol-Omoum (1994)]

                                If you don't have a friend who's a painter, you're in trouble. [Morton Feldman]

Für Willy Piehler (1900 – 1971), Wolfgang Benz (1955 – 2015) und euch

Insbesondere geht es um den Begriff Spiel. Die erste Evidenz, die wir uns da verschaffen müssen, ist, dass Spiel eine elementare Funktion des menschlichen Lebens ist, so dass menschliche Kultur ohne ein Spielelement überhaupt nicht denkbar ist. [Hans-Georg Gadamer, Die Aktualität des Schönen]

Je größer die Schwierigkeiten, desto größer der Sieg. [Marcus Tullius Cicero]
