  I would never say I’m [a] pessimist or optimist. I would say I’m desperate. Because I don’t know why I’m here.

  Anselm Kiefer, from the exhibition, Heaven and Earth

  “The title Heaven and Earth is a paradox because heaven and earth don’t exist anymore. The earth is round. The cosmos has no up and down. It is moving constantly. We can no longer fix the stars to create an ideal place. This is our dilemma.”

  -Anselm Kiefer

  There is a chapter in Isaiah that says: grass will grow over your cities…Isaiah sees the city and the different layers over it, the grass, and then another city, the grass and then another city again.
