【摘要】 基弗艺术作品的独特之处在于提示了德国历史和文化的集体记忆,基弗的作品不是关于遗忘,而是关于记忆的,也就是说我们可以把基弗的艺术看成是德国战争和灾难的历史记忆的呈现,这种历史记忆也构成了基弗艺术的深刻性和严肃性。神话传说构成了基弗艺术作品中一个十分重要的主题,尤其是德国神话、古犹太神话、古埃及神话和诺斯替教神话等深深渗透在基弗的艺术思考之中,由于现实不能被直接触及,基弗只能借助神话的隐喻来表达自己的看法。基弗的艺术探索宗教和表现宗教的故事,把宗教故事和符号带入他的作品之中,与当下的处境产生某种关联,从而引起我们的深思。基弗的作品很大程度上是关于民族认同的思索,我们在基弗的作品中总是能够识别出某种“德国性”,尽管基弗尽力不让这种“德国性”显得狭隘。这样,德国的思想文化自然成为基弗作品经常借用和表现的对象。如果要正确地把握基弗艺术作品的精神内涵,那么我们就必须要把基弗的作品和美学放到特殊的文化和政治语境的,也就是放到“第三帝国”时期之后的德国文化中。他认为正视那段历史,探寻其真正的根源所在,这样才能避免法西斯主义卷土重来。废墟是基弗作品中经常出现的意象,基弗之所以重视废墟,这是跟基弗试图呈现德国的历史记忆是分不开的。废墟象征着记忆的毁灭和流逝,事物和事件曾经存在过,如今已不复存在,而废墟则介于存在和不复存在之间,它作为一种历史记忆重新进入我们今天的生活结构之中。废墟不但是关于过去的痕迹,是事物被摧毁和遗弃的证据,更为重要的是废墟也可能是一种新的开端,是毁灭与重生的辩证,是一种作为未来的过去。
【Abstract】 The unique feature of Kiefer’s works of art is that it prompts the collective memory of German history and culture.Kiefer’s works are not about forgetting,but about memory,that is to say,we can regard Keefer’s art as the presentation of the historical memory of German war and disaster,which also constitutes the depth and seriousness of Kiefer’s art.Myths and legends constitute a very important theme in Kiefer’s works of art,especially German mythology,ancient Jewish mythology,ancient Egyptian mythology and Gnosticism,which are deeply permeated in Keefer’s artistic thinking.Because reality cannot be directly touched,Keefer can only express his views with the help of mythical metaphors.Kiefer’s art explores religion and shows religious stories,bringing religious stories and symbols into his works,and creating some connection with the present situation,thus arousing our deep thinking.Kiefer’s work is largely a reflection on national identity,and we are always able to identify some kind of "Germanism" in Kiefer’s work,although Kiefer tries to keep it from being narrow.In this way,German ideology and culture naturally become the object of Keefer’s works often borrowed and expressed.If we want to correctly grasp the spiritual connotation of Keefer’s works of art,we must put Keefer’s works and aesthetics in a special cultural and political context,that is,in German culture after the period of the Third Reich.He believed that by facing up to that history and exploring its real roots,fascism would not return.Ruins are images that often appear in Kiefer’s works,and Kiefer’s emphasis on them is inseparable from Kiefer’s attempt to present German historical memories.Ruins symbolize the destruction and passage of memory,things and events that once existed and now no longer exist,while ruins lie between existence and no longer exist,and they reenter the structure of our life today as a historical memory.Ruins are not only traces of the past,but also evidence of the destruction and abandonment of things.More importantly,ruins may also be a new beginning,a dialectical of destruction and rebirth,and a past as a future.
