: '''R''' | : '''R''' Anyone who considers themselves ''[[transformal GmbH:Conventions#WORK|work]]'' should not call themselves an artist. – At first, I was irritated by the fact that I couldn't explain what fascinated me about [[Professional_Motifs#CONCEPT-ART|some artworks]]. Later, I saw [[Professional_Motifs#CONCEPTUAL|possibilities]] in creative work the computer does not have. Success in the eyes of others was not a priority. Rather, I wanted to understand myself better.<br/> | ||

At the end of September [[Datebook 2014|2014]], I witnessed my survival. A feeling of awe lasted for well over a year. And 6 weeks before, I had regained abilities without my doing, that I had to preserve at any cost. And in writing I got it. I just misjudged the effort, slightly. – But seriously, about half the time I studied [[Professional_Motifs#THEORY|theories]] related to what I was writing about.<br/> | ||
''' | '''Q''' And in the end, did you understand yourself? <br/> | ||
: '''R''' [laughs] Touché. Yes, that's exactly how it is. | : '''R''' Within my means, yes. And I appropriately appreciated the six weeks leading up to that moment in September 2014.<br/> | ||
'''Q''' And was it worth it?<br/> | |||
: '''R''' Yes.<br/> | |||
'''Q''' But you've worked for seven years without getting anything out of it. After all, the novel hasn't been published so far.<br/> | |||
: '''R''' When the [[Professional_Motifs#IMAGENOVEL|first attempt]] had failed, I took a book off the shelf. I'd had it for a long time without ever understanding it or even reading it all the way through: »Being and Time«. Again, I didn't understand it. But on page 53, I understood what Heidegger was doing there and what a small-time fool I was. That struck me to the core.<br/> | |||
'''Q''' And you lost interest in philosophy …<br/> | |||
: '''R''' On the contrary. It was liberating. I think I'd been trying to see myself more realistically all along.<br/> | |||
'''Q''' But now you've lost interest in yourself [[Private Language|?]]<br/> | |||
