The entire screen is filled with mottled color, middle of the screen showing a rubble-like "Unknown Soldier" of the tomb, despite this grave and solemn look at the center of the screen, but glare and eye-catching color to the audience a great visual impact . This shock is like the Nazis during World War II's brutal persecution of art as the same time, Kiefer and use of focus lens make the audience feel they are standing on a huge screen center. This is the famous German artist Kiefer's representative work, "dedicated to the unknown artist."
Screen, in order to emphasize the texture of the land, Kiefer in red, brown and black mixed with straw, we all know, straw is a naturally decay of the material, which the Nazi metaphor for the fate and the elapsed time, but also show out of a devastating beauty - it is a look at human beings, but also a kind of memorial art. In this work, Kiefer tells us that even if the environment is full of violence, even if the ups and downs of the world in grief, the arts still survive. Kiefer is the unremitting efforts to express his desire and hope, no matter how stupid human behavior and despicable, art will always exist, and create beauty.
