Wherever there is art, there is a staircase over there where you can ascend to the high places! – Mehmet Murat ildan

The work of art still has something in common with enchantment: it posits its own, self-enclosed area, which is withdrawn from the context of profane existence, and in which special laws apply. Just as in the ceremony the magician first of all marked out the limits of the area where the sacred powers were to come into play, so every work of art describes its own circumference which closes it off from actuality. – Theodor W. Adorno
