J. Beuys believed that there was no net division between the sensible and intellegible world. As a matter of fact he used to say that his work was "practically never
symbolic ". He always tried to put opposites together by appealing to his pre-rational and intuitive abilities and examining "the original situations still based on
inspiration and intuition, which also means to repropose a relationship with God at a higher level." (Doris Leutgeb). Therefore, today the path shown by Beuys
forces us to read again the concept of ancient shamanism, which is still valid in our present days, through a self-awareness process which allows us to
overcome pure symbolic or, even worse, allegoric representations.
