Wings of Desire
Lichtundfire is pleased to announce and welcomes all to the Opening Reception of WINGS OF DESIRE, an exhibition that brings together work in various media, from abstraction to abstraction that incorporates representation. WINGS of DESIRE, notable the epitome film by German Director Wim Wenders, a romantic-extistentialist oeuvre set in still divided Postwar Berlin of the 1980鈥檚, nascent with dreams of a better world, where reunification overcomes the horrors of the midcentury; and where love prevails and triumphs over all-.
Desire, also a central theme and the focal point of Psychoanalysis, whether it addresses a fundamental human condition, or deals with the suppression of the same, of the originally socalled IT (not to be mistaken with Internet Technology). The IT, ID in psychoanalysis, is synonymous for the root cause for our ceaseless desires鈥� no matter how much we may have matured in a world that seeks to oppress the primal attribute within our human development rather than to unearth it. Entire societies and civilizations, built upon the denial of desire, on the strife to quench it, and to extinguish the flame that burns deep within us. Relationships shaped both by converging and opposing desires, on an individual as much as on a state level鈥� we cannot omit our desires from the plate we have been served as humans in the only world and on the only planet, we so far know. All human theories, philosophies etc. deal with the conundrum it imposes on the human condition, incest and nuptial taboos, religious dogmas, political enforcements, and even medical laws. We, as civilization, it seems, seek constantly to get a grip on desire and it constantly escapes us 鈥� with fluidity, it permeates all rules, threats and treaties. It overcomes imposed barriers of all kind, historical, sexual, social, religious and political.
