Imagine, that freedom and belief become a life philosophy. When all this becomes an actuality, we move even further away from reality, whether we choose or not, good or bad, succeeding or failing. This is your choice, it is your freedom and your belief. If you choose to believe, you will be inevitably free from fear, hesitation, and indecisiveness, and thus will pass on the responsibility to others. The same applies to one’s religious, political and scientific dependency. If science, religion or politics would be replaced with art or contemporary art, it is equally applicable. People gain freedom through their faith, not from freedom itself.

Stell dir vor, dass Freiheit und Glaube zur Lebensphilosophie werden. Wenn all dies Wirklichkeit wird, entfernen wir uns sogar noch weiter von der Wirklichkeit. Ob man etwas wählt, oder nicht, ob gut oder schlecht, Erfolg oder Misserfolg. Du hast die Wahl, es ist auch deine Freiheit und dein Glauben. Wenn du dich entscheidest zu glauben, wirst du unweigerlich von Angst, Zweifel und Unentschlossenheit befreit, so dass die Verantwortung an Andere abgegeben wird. Das Gleiche gilt auch für die Abhängigkeit des Menschen von Religion, Politik und Wissenschaft, wenn diese drei Bereiche mit Kunst, oder zeitgenössischer Kunst ersetzt werden, ist es auch auf sie anwendbar. Die Menschen gewinnen an Freiheit, durch ihren Glauben, aber nicht durch die Freiheit selbst.

想象自由和相信，想象这些成为生活的理念。当这一切成为现实，我们是否也离真实更远。选择或不选择，好或坏，成功或失败。这是你的选择，也是你的自由和相信。 如果你选择了相信，也就必然的从恐惧、迟疑和摇摆不定中解放，从而将责任给予他人，同样这也适用于人对宗教、政治和科学的依赖，如果将科学、宗教、政治替换成艺术或当代艺术，也同样适用。人通过相信获得自由，并不在自由中获得。
