The Animal is Silent - DT- 2010. Dream Animal - Alfred Kubin- 1903,

2010-09-13T17:47:00.007+01:00

The animal is silent, and we do not share the same language. Who does the animal speak to in his silence? To those who share in this language, which is invisible to the human being? The animal’s body is full of pathos and expression, its eyes and ears caught up in the texture of the world, yet its voice is mute. There is a silence that takes place with the animal, but a silence through which communication is dependent. Heidegger will speak of this silence in terms of poverty, an inability to see the world as world. A line is drawn in Heidegger’s analysis, a refusal to meet the animal face-to-face. For him, the silence of animal is an opportunity for Dasein to define its ontology, a model that is created from the inverse ontology of the animal. The animal’s silence is worldless, a life with no existence, a pure facticity. But melancholy intervenes in this silence, a void opens in the expression of animal. Heidegger doesn’t acknowledge it, but it’s there, wedged between the gaze of the human and the animal. After all, is one ever alone when in the company of animals? Or, in the muteness of the animal, isn’t there already an imperative to be heard? The animal becomes an invitation to an unhomely sadness, in whose eerie presence the intimacy between human and animal is amplified.

Trees and Bushes in the Snow - Casper David Friedrich - 1828

2010-07-13T12:01:00.006+01:00

You are placed before a thicket in winter (illus. I). The thicket, a cluster of bare alders, rises from the snow to fill your gaze: a mesh of grey-brown lines traced sometimes with white. The alders’ forked twigs and branches, tapering to sharp points, compose loose patterns against the dull sky. Here and there appear regular networks, the products of branches evenly spaced, overlapped and viewed from one spot before the thicket. Just above the ground, where the thickest is densest, you see branches dissolving into an abstract play of criss-crossed lines. Only rarely, however, has the artist simply x-ed his canvas with brown lines, heedless of the logic of each individual plant. In the variously pointing twigs near the canvas’s edge, in the curved and unpredictable growth of the larger, moss-covered stems which pass over and within the network, the artist recuperates – becomes a scholar of – the singularity of this thicket. The random signature of each specific twig as it forks out at its own angle, and in its own shape and thickness (despite whatever law commands its ordered growth), underwrites the particularity of the whole. It testifies that the network was and is this way, and no other way, and that you, therefore, are placed here, rather than elsewhere, before this thicket in winter.
