perception. to be in this moment, with all senses, with the whole spirit, which is the same as this sensual attention, dedicated and awake, subject to pain, subject to joy. so much hearing seeing smelling tasting, that hearing and seeing vanish.

the dedication for perception, the encounter with the spirit of the present through the presence and sensitivity of the senses. a common root of art and mysticism, and as well a natural community between art and life. what is perceived, is life, life which again through shaping, through art, meets itself and thus can be perceived again newly.

how strange are reflections like these in a reality which has become so poor that perception has been pushed very much in the background, in favor of complying with functions, in favor of filling out forms rather than shaping form, and in favor of consuming and reacting on news and messages. this is a reality which seems to suggest to not perceive it in an emphatic sense, but instead to protect oneself, and reduce perception of reality to a reduced rest which can be handled. strangeness as possible begin of a mouvement.
