Stars. Movie Theatre, Forum Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands
I went up to Groningen to bid farewell to my longtime friend Jan Johann Albinn (Hans) Mooij (1929-2019), onetime professor of analytic philosophy and comparative literature. Beforehand I visited the brandnew Forum Groningen, a huge cultural complex in the very heart of the city developed by NL Architects of Amsterdam. It was opened on November 29, 2019. The photo is of the entrance to the movie theatre in that megabuilding. In fact, the left side of the photo is a large mirror reflecting the right.
Thinking of the dear deceased my thoughts turned to Plato who considered Theuth, the Egyptian God, to be the ancestor of language and written texts, and thus of literature. And at the same time I realised that Plato and others in Antiquity like for example Cicero thought that just souls had companion stars to which, after death, they would rise... whether pure white or red as in the photo, I can't guess.
