FORSCHUNGSREISEN:
„I have not only landed in another world, in an independent, isolated world; I am touching this world -it is real. (…)
The evidence is so dazzling that it doesn’t occur to me to think, to trap it in my net –
It will be a revelation which will find the limits of my own existence.
At a single blow I will be freed from the worries of the monotonous existence which I call my life.
I am only still in fascinated awe through what this sovereign object will be unveiled.“
