Dorotka Kaczmarek’s project All That We See or Seem screams in my face “you don’t know, you don’t understand.” I’m pushed by force into the world of philosophy of pure experience, where only colour and spatial and temporal systems work.
"[…] if we analyse what we call the external world, we will realise that it is only a set of conscious contents, nothing more. An inextricable connection between consciousness and the object, the self and the world emerges: there is not and cannot be any object that is not the object of consciousness, just as there is no consciousness that is not the consciousness of some object […].”[1]
In a few years’ time, no doubt, Kaczmarek’s works will be entirely familiar and described. Now I am looking at something that I have not yet destroyed with knowledge. And I enjoy this moment, because it is a rare one.
„[…] my ideas are just as real as I am […].”[2]
