Blank Canvas 8/2024
(automatically translated)When we have realized something, after a while we are often no longer aware of what we were at the beginning So before the idea that we then implemented there was already something - I call it the blank canvas.
So there was already a space of possibility in which we generated our ideas at the beginning but itself was without any meaning - it was certainly not a vessel that had no content whatsoever nor any other qualities. So “pure emptiness”. At least that's how I imagine it. At the beginning before the beginning of time there was probably a place like this - without any measure.
But why is this room so sterile and why do we put our delicate rough concepts of an idea there?into it? Because viewing is possible there and only there and no rules apply there everything is possible there. Interestingly, we all have this blank canvas that we tend to forget and close which some people never get to. Creativity is a mystery and that is where its power lies?
Certainly not. I think it's exactly the same - creativity is something completely mundane and as simple as uncreativity.It's easy for us to have an idea and reject it - if ideas were automatically valuable, this would be much more difficult for us.I think for this reason the place - the white screen - is so unspectacular that we often simply forget it.Why drag something into consciousness that exists in the background without any quality of its own? Because, and I am convinced, how we deal with our own discipline or way of working has a lot to do with it.
At the beginning I can always reinvent myself and make every mistake I make anew without all the experiences and prejudices make new differently. And fail again at the old cliff, and ... find new solutions to the same question lies the power of the white canvas.
