The sculptures vividly illustrate this as well. Last
but not least—to return to an aspect touched
upon at the outset of this speech—however
identical the representation and the idea being
represented may be, the existential metaphors
that connect these works to themes such as
“Tides” still have to be considered. This applies
not only in literature, but in art as well.Sculptures
do not convey messages in the manner of coded
texts. But through them, and through the ex-
periences they transmit, the viewer can be trans-
ported into other spheres of life without having
to revise or abandon the experiences he has
gathered here, and without feeling like a com-
plete stranger there.
