in which a stag (represented by an ironing board resting on wooden "legs"), the excremental forms of "primordial animals" (made by plunging tools into piles of clay and casting the forms in bronze), and a goat (the hapless three-wheeled cart) are illuminated by a powerful lightning bolt (the weighty triangular form that hangs precariously from a beam). The artist is the human witness to this mythic, symbolic narrative (dominated, as always in Beuys's work, by animals), appearing obliquely in the form of the cast block of earth atop an old sculptor's modeling base.
