So I may conclude today by saying that Goethe once said: Those to whom nature reveals its obvious secrets feel a deep longing for its most worthy interpreter, art. And, ladies and gentlemen, an ancient Greek figure, Oedipus, is presented with a riddle, and the solution to the riddle is: man. In a certain sense, the solution to the artistic riddle must always be “man.” The revealed secrets of the world are also revealed to our artistic gaze. If we want to recreate them artistically, we can best do so by using the most perfect instrument, man himself.
