The Way to the Museum

1. Effing tells Fogg the precise directions how to get to the museum The entry fee is small and not important Fogg is not allowed to speak with people he‘ll meet on the way Fogg has to keep his eyes closed on the train He should imagine an object, something simple and visible Fogg shouldn‘t be lost in the labyrinth of streets and has to find his goal The material, like everyday things are not significant It remains the typical situation from a fairy-tale – some kind of examination in form of prohibition, refuse from the contact with the world outside himself (like a challenge, a hard way) He must concentrate on his inner world, on the mental and not material side of things => hunger for emotions, impressions because of being “blind“, exclude from society Illusive and subjective view on the things around 5. Meditation The Way to the Museum

3. Fogg was not allowed to look at the other pictures He felt disappointed Confusing paradoxes Concentration on the main subject of his “journey“ Defeated expectancy It only seemed to him, because he has to be more attentive to the details Everything has its specific meaning In front of the Picture

4. Colours The night seems to be a day Idyllic exposing of the life of the lndians Small shadows, lonely in front the face of nature The sky and the land/water have both the same colour The moon is placed in the middle The water and the sky are both green – symbol of hope => HARMONY??? Mixed up world without clear differenciation Exposing of America defore the white men came to destroy its native beautiful face Hope that this world will survive??? Have no real meaning Balance, equilibrium Stays for Fogg for the future Analysis A memorial, a death song for a vanished world??? – The challange with the hidden meaning
