End of Chair

A monstrous, white chair with legs that stretch long and wide, a chair as big yet empty as a grave, serves as a metaphor for the void of human existence, the seat of God itself, which is the source of all human life, and beyond which no longer exists. Its final word is the most profound: “End”. There is nothing more, the end of everything, the end of God’s existence. At the same time, this monstrous chair has no end, but only one word, and that is “end”.

This chair, which is the human being, the earth, and the cosmos, is an end in itself—an end which is not an end. The emptiness of the universe lies within the human being, through him. But within his existence, humanity seems to exist in a completely different sense from what is actually happening. There can be no end with a body like this. And its existence is a contradiction. It cannot, at the same time, exist. …. “End of Chair”, in this sense, is also the concept, “The End of Man.”
