• Spiel und Kunst sind als Parallelwelten zur Realität analoge Welten, die strukturelle Verwandtschaften aufzeigen: Sie haben ihre eigenen Regeln und Gesetze, ihre eigenen Sphären. Sie sind beide autonome Systeme, die der Alltagswelt und ihren bestimmenden Koordinaten von Raum und Zeit ebenso enthoben sind wie deren Maßstäben und Sinnzusammenhängen. Sie sind frei!
