Exhibition Concept
The ancient meaning of rebirth implies two meanings – resurrection from death; or the birth of a new life. Recently, I watched a short clip on a website featuring "The Staunch Crab ". Although it was seriously injured with ten legs were broken, its vitality astonished me.
Rebirth is to obtain new vitality. Crabs have the ability to regenerate their limbs. When a crab encounters danger, its instinct will cause some meristematic cells to divide, differentiate, grow and gradually generate new limbs.
What is the meaning of existence that we have been searching for throughout our lives? How did it appear?
If life has a time limit, will the meaning of survival be different? In the busy working life, people seem to forget the meaning of their existence, leading the same lifestyle at the same time at the same stage. We all hope that we can bring good things to the world during our survival, and we need experience to grow up during the evolution from infant to old age.
“Live for Death” is appealing for Martin Heidegger. "People should live in the world as a dying passer-by and cherish it instead of manipulating the earth. There are many choices to live, and perhaps a choice has changed the trajectory of life.”
“Live for Death” reflects Heidegger's evaluation of this society, "As long as a person is still alive, he will live towards the direction of death. The life of this being runs through the entire process of death, which is a form of existence that precedes death. In this process of dying, people can truly feel the strong sense of self-existence, and they are present ahead of death.”
Proposed by: Martin Heidegger From: "Being and Time"
