Synopsis

Fruits that are not picked fall off the tree or shrub. As a fall fruit, they glow in the grass or on sand, rot, ferment and juice. They spoil, are eaten by birds and wild pigs. Some fall into their laps; when collected they can be squeezed into juice, fermented into musts and fruits, and distilled. The decay shows a nobility that has always stimulated the imagination and irritated to artistic, vocal and culinary enjoyment. It can be seduced by the colours, taste, juices and jams as well as spirit. The fruit is a labsal for the senses; eyes, fracture and tongue excite the taste as well as the grip for the inviting fruits. In biblical myth, man comes before the fall from the tree: Eve reaches for the fruit before it falls and arrives at a knowledge that extends beyond enjoyment. At the moment of access, a mind stimulus drives them: curiosity--a need that is directed not only to taste, but above all on knowledge. And it wonders why the creator wanted to deprive his creaturely image the secret of culture, the knowledge of good and evil. In this stimulus, the momentum of curiosity before the fall, as in the enjoyment of the fallen fruit, a motif can be recognized that also inspires the aphorism: it is similar to the worm that brings the fruit down. The bite into the pulp gives the maturity that tips, in the case transforms its shape and substance and makes it a nature morte. Like still life with fall fruit, the aphorism can be read and understood as the other, the literary flip side of a real object or fact. In it, a statement, a thing is perceived under a changed perspective and takes on a new shape: with Arcimboldo, the flowers, fruits and cabbage heads become the nature morte of a human skull, in aphorism the self-knowledge becomes an irritation. "Know yourself - and you have a problem". Or, "The more justly she distributed her favor, the more disappointed that was perceived." The metamorphosis of the sense of a statement expands perception and comprehension. Most beautiful perhaps when the fallen apples shine in a still life of Cézanne or in Trou Normand, the Calvados with fruits, between the courses of a menu - den; when an aphorism to allegory is surrounded in the poem or by a poem.
