Description

The notion of "the forgetting of being" (λήθη του όντος, lēthē tou ontos) is a philosophical concept that dates back to ancient Greece. It refers to the human tendency to forget the fundamental truth of being and reality. In the context of Baudrillard's philosophy, it is possible to connect this notion to the theory of the simulacrum. According to Baudrillard, simulacra are copies or representations without origin or real referent. They create a world of false appearances and empty meanings, which mask the absence of reality. In this sense, simulacra can be seen as a form of "the forgetting of being", because they divert attention from reality and create a world of illusions. The notion of "forgetting being" can be understood as a form of "forgetfulness" that is inherent in the human condition. Humans tend to forget the fundamental truth of being and reality, and to be distracted by simulacra and appearances. In this context, the "Sin Sons" could represent individuals who are trapped in this world of simulacra and have forgotten the fundamental truth of being. They are unable to distinguish reality from fiction and are condemned to live in a world of false appearances. Interestingly, the notion of "forgetting being" is also linked to the notion of "forgetting death" (λήθη του θανάτου, lēthē tou thanatou). Humans tend to forget their own mortality and get distracted by simulacra and appearances, which prevents them from living their lives fully. In short, the notion of "forgetting being" can be understood as a form of "forgetfulness" that is inherent to the human condition and is exacerbated by simulacra and appearances. The "Sin Sons" could represent individuals who are trapped in this world of simulacra and have forgotten the fundamental truth of being. 3056 x 2160 px / 4k mp4 / 1 min / 80,4 Mo / 12 frames 1/1 collection 48/50 #simulacra a subrealist reread based on the masterpiece by : Christ Crowned with Thorns - Valentin de Boulogne - 1616/17 Original works On view at : Alte Pinakothek, Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen, Munich
