ARTS: Artuklu Sanat ve Beşeri Bilimler Dergisi

Abstract

Heidegger’s philosophy of art as a critique of aesthetics is thinking about the broken connection between the work of art and the truth and when it search the origin of the work of art using hermeneutics, it reaches poetry. This conclusion, explains the relation between art and language as the home of existence on the one hand, and on the other hand, illuminates the link between the artist and existence. The work of art creates value by setting up the truth and makes meaning the world. The basic requirement of this, is to deny the subject /object duality, in other words smashing metaphysics thus aesthetics. Post metaphysics era when philosophy comes to end, the task of the thinking is to make an expedition through the paths of thought. The concept of road and traveling has the existential importance for Kiarostami who is mostly known for his movies. He created works of art in many art branches including poetry during his forty years of his artistic career. Kiarostami’s versatility also being a poet provides a suitable ground for the Heideggerian approach in the interpretation of his works. The work of art for Kiarostami is like a journey aiming to reach a new perspective of existence. In his journey poem explores the myth of existence. This myth is something that including concealment and unconcealedness at the same time, wincing to be explained. Artist tries to silent-tell about this issue.
