In Front of the Room (Stalker)

Summary/Abstract: All truth is ancient. The stimulus of novelty lies only in variety of expression – wrote Novalis.1 True, it appears that there exist several, perhaps more than ten themes, which from antiquity give man no peace and incessantly return in the form of countless tales and successive transformations. They resemble fruit maturing each summer, whose flavour is familiar but, nonetheless, desirable. Just like the fruit, none of which can satiate our hunger once and for all, these tales never end nor are they capable of satisfying dreams or ultimately putting our anxieties at ease. Those perennially repeated attempts at formulating fundamental questions appear to be a state as natural for man as eating or sleeping and in a similar manner call for constant repetition. One of the themes are miracles, dreams about the unattainable – an extremely prominent symbolic figure of ”the journey beyond the farthest horizon”.
