Transcending Immanence

"The artificial terror of the simulation is followed by the dreary horror of a single dimension. To be trapped in a final bodily body and with it in a single world, in our inescapably real world, that is and remains the true horror of existential immanence." (Google translate)

("Auf den künstlichen Terror der Simulation folgt das öde Schrecknis einer einzigen Dimension. In einem endgültig leibhaftigen Körper und mit diesem in einer einzigen Welt, in unserer unausweichlich wirklichsten Welt, gefangen zu sein, das ist und bleibt der wahre Horror existenzieller Immanenz.")

Georg Klein on "World on a Wire", a R.W.Fassbinder science fiction television serial from 1973.

Following the restrictive mood of the pandemic year, this work addresses feelings of confinement to static situations and the heightened sensibilities of our bodies as ever changing manifestations of being in this world.
