Wittgenstein:
“The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.”
“A philosopher who is not taking part in discussions is like a boxer who never goes into the ring.”
“He who lives in the present lives in eternity.”

Wittgenstein is one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th Century. In his workTractatus Logico-Philosophicus (Latin for “Logico-Philosophical Treatise”), he puts forth that if we could understand language, then how the world was created could be explained. Mathias Woo, in collaboration wtih cross-disciplinary artists, would recreate Wittgenstein’s world of the logic of language; with comic master Li Chi Tak’s unique images and symbols restructuring Wittgenstein’s philosophical treatise; Steve Hui’s new language of electronic synth music for theatre; and German image artist Tobias Gremmler overlapping reality and imagination with severed, twisting and collaged images…entering the world of existence and eternity in the next century.
