„Das Auge” does not see everything – but sees everything that is red. „Das Auge” only sees the color red. Thus it can only show red, it can only name red, and it can only ’be’ red. The red – that „Das Auge” sees – is the blood of those wounded and killed by war and terror, the red is the blood of slaughtered baby seals, the red is the red of models protesting against the wearing of fur coats, the red is the red of branching capillaries, the red is the red of national coat of arms use the color red, and the red is the red of cardboard hearts, the red is simply just the color ‘red’.THOMAS HIRSCHHORN
