Denn auch, wenn man Leidtragender einer entsetzlichen Geschichte ist (die man mit Hilfe einer Spielkarte beziehungsweise eines Reisedokuments zugewiesen bekommen hat), wird man allein deshalb noch nicht aus dem Kreis der Mitspieler ausgewählt. Wird man doch einmal nicht abgewiesen und erhält den Status eines „legalen Bürgers“, spürt man regelrecht die Macht und scheinbare Willkürlichkeit, die hinter diesem System steckt.

Laws deal with these questions in precise terms. In the game it quickly becomes clear that although such laws exist, they appear neither comprehensible nor just when one is faced with the “immigration authorities”. The game picks up on this: viewers become “refugees” and experience how it feels to go through the process of making applications and being rejected. And it feels unfair. Just because one has lived through horrific events (assigned by a playing card representing a travel document) one is not automatically selected from among the players. When one is not rejected, receiving the status of a “legal citizen”, one literally feels the power and apparent arbitrariness behind the system.

In jedem dieser leicht unscharfen, durch die Brauntonigkeit an eigene, alte Kinderbilder erinnernden Fotografien wird die Gefährdung und scheinbare Willkürlichkeit lebendiger menschlicher Entwicklung spürbar.

Roger Lips’ last project, finished a few months before his death, impresses me very much because at the end of his life his work turns back to the childhood. In theses last black-and-white works Roger Lips returns also to the old re-working techniques. One sees 20 faces of the baby boy Noah. The eye sockets remain black. Strangely empty, they remind one of death’s-heads. In everyone one of these slightly out of focus pictures, whose brown-tone reminds one of one’s own childhood pictures, the endangerment and seeming arbitrariness of living human development can be felt. Here is the moment where the child seems to carry all the possibilities within himself, his social and individual formation in which roots have already begun for all the later fortune and misfortune.

Der Eindruck von Willkürlichkeit ist dabei durchaus beabsichtigt, sollen doch – ähnlich den Fotofilmen von John Waters – die resultierenden Assoziationsräume nur die Fiktion einer möglichen Befindlichkeit rekonstruieren.

Like Martin Dammann, Peter Zimmermann also falls back on an archive of collected visual motifs. He changes scanned details from his own works as well as found pictures from the Internet, from television and other information sources on his computer in a targeted way, to such an extent that even the faintest notion of an effigy turns out to be imaginary. On the basis of the computer-generated picture, the artist then defines surface areas which he casts in epoxy resin in a step-by-step process. The resulting flowing forms, the materiality of the paint emerging for example when the pigments create unintended streaks, and the impression of depth of focus caused by superimposed layers of pigment suggest that his works are visually akin to watercolours.

»Je stärker die Originalität eines Künstlergenies betont wird und je schwächer die Hoffnung auf eine für die Allgemeinheit exemplarische und wegweisende Funktion der Künstlerin wird, desto weitgehender wird diese auf ihre Besonderheit, aber damit auf Zufälligkeit und Willkürlichkeit reduziert.

I now attempt to approach this question from another perspective, that of art history. Up to the present, a substantial role has been played by the notion of the artist as genius, as the favorite of nature. To be a "favorite of nature" means to be gifted with extra-human powers, to be charged with redemptive tasks, to be regarded as a potential leader. All of these ideas and notions have made their appearances in the history of art; in part they are typical of the epoch of Romanticism, when artists and artistic modes of activity were tested for their potential to function as exemplars of a new society. With good reason, many people in the art world distance themselves from such conceptions, which appear today to be exaggerated. Nonetheless, current art production and its interpretation consist largely of the relics of such notions of the (traditionally masculine, needless to say) artist-genius. "Right up to the present, it has remained habitual in contemporary society to regard traits as strengths in the artist that would be considered weaknesses in any non-artist." This citation from Cornelia Klinger is directly applicable to my situation in the Dormagen-Guffanti Foundation:

Wenn man mit Knappheit zu tun hat, gibt es zwei Möglichkeiten: sich darüber zu beklagen, nicht genügend Ressourcen zu haben – oder zu versuchen, aus der Knappheit einen Filter gegen Willkürlichkeit und Überflüssiges zu machen.

Dealing with scarcity you have two choices: complain about not having enough resources or try to transform scarcity into a filter against arbitrariness and the superfluous. While dealing with low-income housing or with urban projects in a developing country such as Chile or Latin America in general, we are forced to leave out everything that is not strictly necessary. And we think that is a privilege because it eventually allows us to approach life and its most archaic needs. This is timeless. It is not about survival but about being human in its most pure state. Like having a good conversation. How do I relate to my family? How do I create relationships with my neighbours? I know Kahn was looking for those states of relationship. Every programme was connected to an old notion of an institution. Like a school being ultimately a good conversatioN between two people under the nice shadow of a tree. But, of course, Kahn is Kahn and I wouldn’t even attempt to try to compare us with that. We are just trying not to lose the opportunity to follow that path.

« Die Antwort auf diese Frage hängt von der Bedeutung des Wortes »willkürlich« ab. Nehmen wir ein innerstaatliches Beispiel. Die Polizei kann nicht jeden Raser aufhalten. Wenn sie nur jenen nachstellen, die sie zu erwischen hofft, ohne sich oder andere zu gefährden, werden ihre Festnahmen durch »Auswahl und Ermessen determiniert« sein, was eine Bedeutung von »willkürlich« ist: doch diese Bestimmung untergräbt nicht die Gerechtigkeit von Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen. Wenn die Polizei auf der anderen Seite ausschließlich jenen nachstellt, deren Autoaufkleber ihr nicht gefällt, sodass Verkehrskontrollen ein Vorwand für die Belästigung politischer »Feinde« werden, dann entspringen ihre Handlungen bloßer »Willfährigkeit und Laune«, was eine andere Definition von »willkürlich« und tatsächlich ungerecht wäre. Die erste Art von »Willkürlichkeit« sollte humanitäre Interventionen auszeichnen (und tut dies tatsächlich auch oft).

Third objection: »What does it mean,« Luttwak asks, »for the morality of a supposedly moral rule when it is applied arbitrarily, against some but not others?« The answer to this question depends on what the word »arbitrarily« means here. Consider a domestic example. The police can't stop every speeding car. If they go after only the ones they think they will be able to catch without endangering themselves or anyone else, their arrests will be »determined by choice or discretion,« which is one of the meanings of »arbitrary,« but surely that determination doesn't undermine the justice of enforcing the speeding laws. On the other hand, if they only go after cars that have bumper stickers they don't like, and if their treatment of those drivers goes beyond what the law requires, so that traffic control becomes a pretext for the harrassment of political »enemies,« then their actions »arise from will or caprice,« another definition of »arbitrary,« and are indeed unjust. It's the first kind of »arbitrariness« that ought to qualify humanitarian interventions (and often does). They are indeed discretionary, and we have to hope that prudential calculations shape the decision to intervene or not. Hence, as I have already acknowledged, there won't be an actual intervention every time the justifying conditions for it exist. But, to answer Luttwak's question, that acknowledgement doesn't do anything to the morality of the justifying rule. It's not immoral to act, or decline to act, for prudential reasons.
