Theme 2023: “Beyond the veil of reality”
Is the representation of the world that our minds project real and objective – or is it a construction of our (collective or individual) unconscious? When we create art, we may be deconstructing, filtering and recomposing the components according to our personal temperament or ideology. Similarly we reveal the unconscious form simply by fleshing out a thought, feeling or dream. “First I dream my paintings, then I paint my dreams”: Vincent Van Gogh. The same inspiration that artists so often seek may be the fruit of the unconscious impulse to which we must give ourselves over completely in order to get the work done. The word Inspiration comes from the Latin word for inhalation, to breathe in; however, in ancient Greek culture, the breath of an external Muse evokes a poetic ecstasy. Meanwhile, for Jung, inspiration always means an archetypal contact with the unconscious. We could therefore say that every creation , however realistic, contains a mysterious component from a parallel universe; something that has necessarily passed through a state of unconsciousness before becoming objective. “Beyond the veil of reality” is not exclusively an artistic subject to be worked on, it is rather an invitation to let go ( why not?): – To dare without fear, making that part of us speak that would like to express itself but does not, – to be surprised by an artistic inspiration which is none other than the voice of our unconscious – wanting to convey an emotion, a feeling, a thought, real or illusory, that somehow belongs to us because it contains a part of us.
