Where,
beyond the promises of advertising and the desires and lifestyles
it generates, do we find truly individual experiences of joy and
pleasure in our society?
Subjective experience can lead to personal joy through the emotions.
This project focuses on how this works and on the situations and
objects of joy.
The pressures of contemporary everyday life and the many obligations
it imposes tend to force the central human phenomenon of laughter
(which is virtually unknown in the animal world) farther and farther
into the background. Even specialists in psychohygiene (gelotology)
have come to recognize the healing and health-enhancing powers of
humor, irony, laughter and joy. The countless publications of advice
columnists and other "life counselors offer clear evidence
of a lost capacity for joy and good cheer. The set pieces of the
construct-consuming "FUN Society stand in stark contrast
to the tolerance of the person with a sense of humor (the product
of his own consciousness), who gives "joy to everyday
social experience.
The project as a whole encompasses several exhibitions in Europe
involving computer-generated images projected on canvas, texts,
interventions and links to historical objects and works of art.
The complete project will be presented in a book in summer 2004
Ultimately, the key to the experience of joy is a purely subjective
phenomenon.
Existieren jenseits der Verheissungen der Werbung und den daraus
resultierenden Wünschen und Lebensformen, in unserer heutigen
Sozietät noch Erlebnisse der Freude mit individuellem Charakter?
Die subjektive Wahrnehmung kann über die Emotion zur persönlichen
Freude führen. Wie das funktioniert und was die Situationen
und Objekte der Freude sind, ist Kernthema dieses Projektes.
Die Anforderungen eines zeitgenössischen Alltags mit den unterschiedlichsten
Verbindlichkeiten lassen den zentralen humanen Aspekt des Lachens
(es gibt kaum Tiere die diesen Ausdruck kennen) mehr und mehr in
den Hintergrund treten. Selbst in der Psychohygiene (Gelotologie)
hat man in der Zwischenzeit die vorbeugende und heilende Wirkung
von Humor, Ironie, Lachen und Freude erkannt. Die unzähligen
Publikation der Lebensratgeber sind Beweis der abhanden
gekommen Fähigkeit zur Heiterkeit und Freude. Die Versatzstücke
der Konstrukte konsumierenden FUN-Gesellschaft stehen
im Kontrast zur Toleranz des humorvollen Menschen (der sich ja aus
seinem Bewußtsein selbst kreiert), der die soziale Alltagserfahrung
erfreulich beeinflußt.
Das Gesamtprojekt umfaßt mehrere Ausstellungen in Europa mit
computergenerierten Bildern auf Leinwand, Texten, Intervention und
Verbindungen mit historischen Objekten und Kunstwerken. Das Gesamtprojekt
wird im Sommer 2004 publiziert.
Was Freude bereitet, ist letztlich doch nur rein subjektiv zu beantworten.
