Creative Position: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 18:26, 17 February 2026

When a person, in their action, is aware of either their self- or other image, they lose some of their presence. We perceive as impersonal, when a person appears to act according to their self- or other image. A person is perceived as present when their self- and other image ³⁵⁹ are the same – the images disappear from their consciousness and make way for shared experiences. This is illustrated by interacting^[5] with the photo^[7].

Creative work

Some constitutions grant citizens the right to protection of their ›bodily integrity‹. This right includes protection from violence and injury. The counterpart is the right to be creative with oneself. A person can take itself as subject of their creative work. Nothing should be included in their passport, that sets limits on this.

Thinking one's self

Olaf Langmack:

»It is self-evident that artists do not label their work as artworks. They are not credible in doing so because they lack sufficient distance from their works. In the case of personality as work, it would be doubly ridiculous^[4] to call oneself an artist of one's self. One can consider it a work – not an artwork.«

»The real challenge: telling your Self yourself. The difficulties then begin with thinking one's self.«

»I exploit the richness of presence. I am guided by the idea that ›everything that comes from thought exists‹.^[6] How could that exclude my body?«

-Personality manifests itself anew again and again in the flow of individual existence. Seeing it in flux frees creative action from individual characteristics such as age, body, or origin. Olaf Langmack advocates the ''Right to a Free Identity''. His creative interest is in himself.

The counterpart is the right to be creative with oneself. A person can take itself as subject of their creative work. Nothing should be included in their passport, that sets limits on this.
+== Thinking one's self ==
+Olaf Langmack:
 <blockquote>
-My topic from [[:Category:2003 April until 2014 September|2003 until 2014]] was my history and from [[:Category:2015 February until 2023 May|2015 until 2023]] my personality. This had practical and, accordingly, economic [[&raquo;(Autofictional Novel)&laquo;|consequences]], because during this time I reduced my social interactions as much as possible, in the beginning by choice and later by force. I completely refrained from web work.

-== Self-concept ==
 <blockquote>
-In everyday life, it is self-evident that artists cannot label their work as artworks. This becomes obvious in the case of ''personality as work'': It would then be ridiculous{{Index|5}} at best to call

-oneself an artist. One can consider oneself a work &ndash; not an artwork.
 </blockquote>
-== Method ==
 <blockquote>
-I work according to my own methods. In order to develop them, it was a good decision to successfully study computer science, educate myself in philosophy, literature, and photography, and treat myself to three very different psychological therapies.

-== Personality v. Sociality ==
-He understands personal identity (in short: personality) as the tension between a person's self-image and the image others have of him. Langmack understands social identity (in short: sociality) as
-how his personality is dissolved in everyday life. An example of social identity is what is written about a person in their passport. His slogan of the ''Right to a Free Identity'' interprets the relationship between personality and sociality.
