Light (after Diogenes and Friedrich Nietzsche), 2020

The Greek philosopher Diogenes the Cynic is said to have wandered around with a lit lantern in broad daylight, looking for a (honest) man. This story was later used by Friedrich Nietzsche in ”The Gay Science” (1883) with the allegory ”of a madman who lit a lantern in the bright morning hours, ran to the marketplace and cried incessantly: I seek God! I seek God!”
