In the beginning was the meaning

The work refers to the classical understanding of man in the introductions to Goethe’s Faust. In the beginning was … the prologue in heaven (# 3). Man (Faust) striving for the highest ideal—freedom—is the victim of the wager between God and the devil. Faust, caught between heaven and earth, reason and instinct, is tested and seduced by his dual nature. He is the plaything of his inner dichotomy, which visually, acoustically, spatially and psychoactively is released upon every individual.

In the beginning was … the meaning (…)
In the beginning was … the power (…)
In the beginning was … the act (…)
