Schmerzraum
(Espace de douleur)
1984
For this installation, the walls of the Konrad Fischer gallery in Düsseldorf were symbolically insulated with sheets of lead, a metal that absorbs radiation and light.
Inside, Joseph Beuys placed two rings made of silver, a light, re?ective and conductive metal, one the size of a child's head, the other the size of an adult's. The anxiety-inducing half-light in Hinter dem Knochen wird gezählt – SCHMERZRAUM [Behind the Bone is Counted – PAIN SPACE], is pierced by the light from a bulb, a symbol of reason. The work deals with the necessary stage on the way to freedom which the artist called "the pain of knowledge".
