DESCRIPTION:
|
Treasure Island is the Being that we never see, we never arrive, except in art, in painting. Treasure Island is there in front of us without an intermediary. The leaves don't need trees to be. The birds don't need brances in order to perch in the trees; the birds are already there as leaves. The leaves are the birds. From the earth to the birds there is a movement of nature, the time of things. Ordinarily, this time is not seen, it is only measured by the different forms and stages of nature. The invisible intra-phusic mobility of things has no form. Yet despite this, here it does have form. This "form" Treasure Island shows us directly the absence that supports the structured world of forms which we take for the real, even though what we really do is just to amputate the mystery.
