Harald Szeemann; Verzauberung auf Zeit, 1992

Ich brauche natürlich [...] ein handliches Ordnungssystem. Da ich ein [...] Anhänger des Recycling bin, verwende ich also die Schachteln, die Kartons, in denen mir der Wein geliefert wird. Villa Jelmini. Unterdessen ist es nicht mehr Villa Jelmini, der ist etwas zu sanft geworden, sondern Generoso. Und dann verwende ich diese Schachteln als Ablegesystem, so dass je mehr ich trinke, je mehr kann ich auch einordnen.

sqq. *

Each planet sings. We don't hear it, of course, because it's a vacuum. But when we capture things like that, it's stunning. And it transports you to things that you don't believe — and at the same time, you know. These are implanted as well, because we're coming from there.

— Vangelis

Georg Trakl, Offenbarung und Untergang;
gesprochen von Klaus Löwitsch

Und Löwitsch? Wahrscheinlich ist es diese Fremdheit im eigenen praktischen Leben, die dieser neuen Arbeit Löwitschs den Untergrund des Bedrängenden, Herzgetroffenen, Aufgehetzten gibt. Mit "Offenbarung und Untergang" hat er einen Stoff in Händen, der seiner ist. Den er erobert, indem er sich ihm unterwirft. Mit inspiriertem Übermut, mit sentimentaler Hingabe, mit einem wirklich eigenen Atemzug.

— Hans-Dieter Schütt
