Hiltrud Schinzel Book order

The book's aim is to show how art can enrich a person's life. 22 essays starting from the themes of restoration and fine arts are arranged chronologically, with the focus slowly shifting towards generality, from disciplinary demarcation to inter- and transdisciplinary openness, as dictated by the spirit of the times. The visual updating of the author's cover design from 2004 points to „updates“ both unintentional and intentional, but always inevitable, firmly rooted in the human desire to outwit the transience of time. Thus, the content of an essay may be critical, some essays creep into the poetic, some into the caricatural, nothing has the claim to permanence of an abstract truth, and everything serves to deepen the pleasure of art.

Exploring the concepts of formation and transformation, this work delves into the nature of eternal minds and their continuous recreation. It presents a philosophical framework that examines how consciousness evolves and interacts with the universe over time. The author invites readers to consider the implications of these ideas on personal identity and existence, offering a thought-provoking journey into the interplay between the temporal and the eternal. The book challenges conventional notions of reality and encourages deep reflection on the essence of being.
