..Labelled, as though their occupants have passed on,the obsessions of German mythology taken off to history's mortuary.

I've always been moved by Kiefer's work because it seems to share the historian's version of the Hippocratic Oath,to wage war against forgetfulness.
我經常被基弗的作品震撼 因為他的作品 像是歷史學家視角的希波克拉底誓詞 對遺忘發起戰爭
His vast landscapes are often soiled and smoking.
他開闊的風景圖 總是充斥著臟污和煙塵
On them, he lays down fateful railway lines stretching away into a remote distance,
在畫里 他畫上了宿命的火車軌 延伸至遠方
where the vanishing point of perspective is also the vanishing place for people.

And there they are, printed on spools of lead.

He loves lead as a medium. It's a very unusual choice,and the sense in which it's kind of dangerous is perfect for Kiefer.

This is also an archive, isn't it?

So we've got the titles of his favourite stories,but we also have the names of heroes there.

Together with the kind of raw, blond hank of hair,we have the Lorelei, the Rhinemaidens,who lured sailors to their death on the rocks.
與這束未經修飾的金發一起 我們可以看到羅蕾萊 萊茵少女們 她們引誘著水手們撞上巖石而死

I must say, this actual place makes even my own study look quite neat by comparison.

But this is the sort of place that you feel you've stumbled into after a bomb has dropped on it.

You know, you've just been abandoned.
你只是被遺棄了
