Jas’ Elsner, “Looking East: Early Christian Art Beyond Christian Hegemony”
Dedicated to the curious phenomenon of the philosopher’s retreat, HUTOPIA takes as its point of departure two famous philosopher’s huts: Martin Heidegger’s Black Forest cabin in the German village of Todtnauberg and the lesser-known mountain refuge built by Ludwig Wittgenstein in the remote Norwegian village of Skjolden. Both huts were constructed around the same time to serve the same purpose: offering their occupants the kind of isolation conducive to thinking the kind of thoughts that would go on to revolutionize twentieth-century philosophy.
