Absence

The power of an artwork is linked to the absence of the artist and to the thought and feelings behind the actual work. This absence is habitually covered by language produced by art theorists, aestheticians or laymen, or artists themselves. But, in language there it is nothing that communicates the actual work. The absence is complied with the most fitting words; however, the distance between the absence and the ideas, thoughts and feelings that the words try to express is something I would like to call traumatic. One’s disability to grasp and interpret them and then share them with others by language proves to be invalid. Language, working on its own level, lacks the capacity to make the invisible be seen as invisible, and not visible.
