IMAGE: It is commonly said that some people stand at the crossroads in their lives, but that is not accurate. In truth, everyone is always standing at a fork in the path in their life. Should they go this way or that way? They have to choose one way or the other. They lose the way.

俗に人生の十字路というが、それは正確ではない。人間は本当は、いつでも二つの道の分岐点に立たされているのだ。この道をとるべきか、あの方か。どちらかを選ばなければならない。迷う。 – 岡本太郎 (1911 – 1996): 『自分の中に毒を持て』 (Arek SochaによるPixabayからの画像) (Google Translateのエンジンを使用した、Sound of Textによるテキスト読み上げ) More »

IMAGE: Everyone seems to think that life is cumulative. On the contrary, I think it should be unloaded. The more wealth and knowledge one accumulates, the more freedom one loses. If you stick to the accumulation of the past, you will be buried in the sediment before you know it and you will not be able to move. To challenge life and truly live, you must be reborn moment by moment and open your destiny. To do so, you must have nothing and be unconditional in mind and body. The more you throw away, the thicker and purer your life becomes.

人生は積み重ねだと誰でも思っているようだ。ぼくは逆に、積みへらすべきだと思う。財産も知識も、蓄えれば蓄えるほど、かえって人間は自在さを失ってしまう。過去の蓄積にこだわると、いつの間にか堆積物に埋もれて身動きができなくなる。人生に挑み、本当に生きるには、瞬間瞬間に新しく生まれかわって運命をひらくのだ。それには心身とも無一物、無条件でなければならない。捨てれば捨てるほど、いのちは分厚く、純粋にふくらんでくる。 – 岡本太郎 (1911 – 1996): 『自分の中に毒を持て』 (Ninel_SによるPixabayからの画像) (Google Translateのエンジンを使用した、Sound of Textによるテキスト読み上げ) More »

IMAGE: For me, art is life itself. I would like to emphasize that art is the way of life that lives the most intensely as a human being, unconditionally exuding life and exploding. "Art is (an) explosion"...but what I call (an) "explosion"...doesn't make a sound. Things don't fly away. Open your whole body and soul to the universe unconditionally. That's the "explosion". Originally, life should continue to explode moment by moment, gratuitously and aimlessly. It is the true way of life.

ぼくが芸術というのは生きることそのものである。人間として最も強烈に生きる者、無条件に生命をつき出し爆発する、その生き方こそが芸術なのだということを強調したい。“芸術は爆発だ”……が、私の言う「爆発」は……音もしない。物も飛び散らない。全身全霊が宇宙に向かって無条件にパーッとひらくこと。それが「爆発」だ。人生は本来、瞬間瞬間に、無償、無目的に爆発しつづけるべきだ。いのちのほんとうの在り方だ。 – 岡本太郎 (1911 – 1996): 『自分の中に毒を持て』 (slowrabbitによるPixabayからの画像) (Google Translateのエンジンを使用した、Sound of Textによるテキスト読み上げ) More »
