On Poetry
Art and poetry are places of memory of our primal fears and longings. The myths, images and sounds created from these dramas shed light on the dark space of the unknown and the uncanny. They preserve the common memory of mankind, in which the inner and outer worlds, which are separated from each other, become one again and have an identity-forming effect on our perception. For myths and legends point to an order that brings imagination and the world together.
When Freud calls drive theory our mythology „The drives are mythical beings. Magnificent in their indeterminacy“, this indeterminacy as a life force can be conceived in the way that, corresponding to the genetic code we see in animate nature, we recognize in myth the poetic code of the human mind.
