SITUATION #38

“Can ‘play’ therefore be interpreted not only as a special form of movement and activity, but also as a perspective from which we can observe almost all that we do? And, if so, would the specifically human aspect of play then lie precisely in the fact that we are not only playing, but actually transforming play into a perspective by which to shape and comment on our relationship to both the world and ourselves?”

Quote from Sybille Krämer, “Die Welt – ein Spiel? Über die Spielbewegung als Umkehrbarkeit”, 2005, userpage.fu-berlin.de/~sybkram/media/downloads/Die_Welt_-_ein_Spiel.pdf
