Everything is real in this absurd and meaningless existence. I must rebel against it and fight despair and resignation.

The poem was written referring to ancient aretologies of the Egyptian goddess Hathor. Hathor could appear as a woman with the head of a cow, as a woman wearing cow horns and a sun disk, or as a cow. She was a mother goddess, a goddess of love, beauty, and dancing, and also greeted the deceased when they arrived in the Underworld.
Therefore the stale and morbid nature of thought is once again made living. Honey is an undoubtedly living substance- human thoughts can also become alive.
— Joseph Beuys
Joseph Beuys's artistic oeuvre defies conventional boundaries, offering a canvas for boundless interpretation and the intertwining of multifaceted meanings. His renowned piece, "How to Explain Paintings to a Dead Hare," epitomizes this ethos. In this performance art, Beuys, adorned with honey and gold leaf, gently conversed with a deceased hare, inviting contemplation on the essence of communication and art's unconventional forms.
In a world that often values sharp clarity and distinct meaning, Beuys's art speaks a different language. It resonates with those who seek depth in the unknown, who relish the layers of interpretation woven within artistic creations.
The #vss365#poem for today "#Lantern" has led me down several creative paths. This is the video version. It may be better viewed on #YouTube but will attempt to see if it works well here too.
