Dwelling the limit, sharing the horizon

Abstract

I would like to propose a reflection regarding the legacy of Chillida from the perspective of the concepts of limit and horizon. This reflection focuses on his work and his writings in relationship with contemporary philosophers, specifically, Heidegger. Chillida discovers us the space as place in the limit between plenty and empty; he invites to dwell it, and to dwell that place which transcends us at the time it orients us: the horizon. The concept of horizon which is always active, and one in which we can share with all humanity. This active notion of space and place, which plays an important role in Chillida’s work gives us important keys to confront contemporary creation and as a way of sharing existence as human beings.
