Chapter 16 The landscape when the soul is awakened - refuge

1. Renovation plan Drama and Robinson want to turn Karl into a servant of art, which can only be done with Karl's conscious cooperation, but Karl at this stage only wants to get rid of these two tramps.How can I tame Karl?Delamash saw that Karl must be rid of all those false fantasies, forcing him to follow him with all his heart, so that their plan could be realized.In the world, no one is willing to be a slave.Young Carl could not have realized at once that there was only one road ahead of him, and that life experience had not yet fully taught him.To make him aware in advance, Dramash directed the play.Art is a narrow lane reserved for those who are desperate.Carl is actually desperate, but his illusion has not been shattered. He thought he could find a job elsewhere.His development depends on the guidance of Dramash.

From the moment Karl got out of the car, Dramash's plan began.Delamache and Robinson use the most despicable means to cut off Karl's retreat.They made him a bad character, a liar, a criminal, so that the only way to keep him going was in jail.When Karl finally got rid of the thrilling police pursuit with the help of Drama, when he had to follow Drama to go upstairs to the art house, Karl had to see that the other way out had disappeared. , at least temporarily disappeared, not only because of the danger of pursuit, but also because of the exhaustion of physical strength.Perhaps people who have embarked on the road of art have had such adventures before.Delamash is a master at this, and he facilitates Karl's evolution.

The contest between Karl and Dramash is a contest of containment and anti-capture.Drama wants to reveal the truth to Karl (that is, there is only one road left in front of him), and Karl has to try his best to resist and cling to his dream.In the process of resisting and submitting at the same time, Karl gradually came to know the truth and walked towards the road of transformation designed by Drama for him.Of course, he is still unconvinced, he wants to dream, but also to deceive himself.His transformation is an endless transformation.During this process, we saw that he transitioned from fierce physical resistance and struggle to gradually calming down, only hiding his desire to escape in his heart; and finally, he finally completely dispelled the idea of ​​escape and entered into conscious transformation. .How violent was this transformation at first, and how tragic afterward!If a person does not shed a layer of skin, how can he see the truth and approach art?At the same time, it can also be seen that Drama and Robin Matsui are not trying to completely dispel Karl's illusions.They just want him to change the way he fantasizes, let him fantasize under the premise of realizing the reality, just like Robinson did.On the one hand, the unbearable reality, on the other hand, the reverie facing the reality, the two co-exist in the same room, this is the internal situation of the palace of art.Carl gradually learned that reality cannot be avoided, it is on you; at the same time, he also learned that in the face of reality, you can still close your eyes and fantasize, because fantasies are the birthright of human beings.From the dreamy tall building down to the human world, and pushing Brunata down the street with a cart, Karl realized how unbearable the secular life is.It was only after experiencing the artistic nightmare on the tall building that Karl's heart got closer to Brunata, and her terror became his own.Delamash's transformation plan finally received its due effect, and Karl became a member of the art hall.

2. Art and Distance Art becomes art only when it distances itself from human desires. The example of Robinson Robinson illustrates this well.And precisely because of the distance, desire will always be desire.The extremely sensitive Brunata does not allow others to look at her, and a thick curtain separates Robinson from the balcony.And Robinson, while suffering in pain through the curtain, had many hot and beautiful dreams.People's entry into art is always associated with terror.For example, the bell on Brunata's desk scares away the cats.Robinson is afraid and longing for the bell.Artistic inspiration often occurs after people's desires are fatally frustrated, and the rebound from inertia becomes unprecedentedly strong.At that time, amidst the waves of the soul that gradually subsided, a round of incomparably ethereal bright moon rose slowly, and healed all the wounds on people's bodies with its radiant brilliance, and people were immersed in the sense of beauty unconsciously.Robinson has experienced this state many times.When he was driven to the point of madness by his situation and howled desperately, Brunata came.Although it was only a momentary dream, although he was still refused to approach her, Robinson's suffering was fully compensated.Robinson's extraordinary happiness is thanks to the thick curtain, which mobilizes the potential in his body, so that sweet dreams come from the world of unbearable suffering.He would also like to thank Brunata for her sensitivity and arrogance, for keeping the longing in him burning for a long time, an insatiable longing that can constantly be sublimated out of the dream world.

Brunata, who is a contradictory unity of desire and art, developed in the process of breaking away from the world and keeping a distance.After completing the external rupture and retreating to the edge of the world, it is her body that torments the goddess.She had to wrestle with herself, conquer this huge body that boiled like lava inside.How did she do it?Her way is to abandon all worldly things in her small world and live in pure ideas.But how could she renounce her own flesh?In order to distance herself from her body, she waged a long war of attrition.The pain that could not be eliminated all over her body made her more beautiful, more attractive, more aggressive, and inviolable.Facing her contradictory body, the two homeless men were fascinated and didn't know what to do.This is very similar to the feeling of a person facing a work of art.The feeling of being moved and rejected goes far deeper than human sexual desire, and its origin is closely related to sexual desire.

Brunata's magical telescope is the artist's eyes; the way of observing while keeping a distance from reality and seeing through it is difficult for people to adapt to.So when Brunata made Carl look out of the binoculars, he couldn't see anything, but Brunata said he "had seen."This went on for a while, and Karl could see, but not clearly.In his heart, he was very disgusted with this kind of contradictory gaze.It can be seen that if people live completely in art, they cannot bear it; sharp contradictions will definitely drive people crazy, and people always need some cover to achieve balance.For Karl, who was imprisoned in the dark room, this veil was a dream about a better life in the future, and he would never give up a day of hard work if he lived a day.Unintentionally, however, he himself was understanding Brunata's gaze, because even under the cover, people can still feel the sharp reality, and Brunata's terrible moans are always reminding him.

3. Reality in the eyes of artists What Karl observes from the high balcony is the reality of the artist.The reality is one hopeless campaign after another, a raucous, meaningless farce.No matter how hoarse a candidate may be, hope is always out of sight.The noisy night is chaotic, all kinds of noise cancel each other out, the lights are changing, and the night is extremely confusing.Obviously, this is an image of the externalization of the soul.For a purely artistic embodiment like Brunata, there is only one reality, and that is the reality of the soul.But the soul is something one cannot see when one looks inward.Artists who wanted to see it discovered in their pursuit that the soul is not just a dark mass inside the body. The soul can emerge from the body at a certain time, combine with the outside world, and form a new world image. The image is the proof of its existence.This image belongs to the artist, and it is inextricably linked to the mundane reality.But it is a sublimation, a reality unique to the artist and at the same time universal.To have such a reality, the telescope is an indispensable tool, and the detachment from the world is also a prerequisite.The artist Brunata used her broad and strong soul to include all worldly activities, and created such a novel punishment image.Faced with such a scene, people will be deeply attracted even if they do not understand its connotation.
