Research objectives:
The common sphere of creation and reception of art in subjective time

Description and results of research:
The personal experience of the individual in relation to time and the process of the creation with regards to the reception of that piece of art can be interpreted as a process of  positioning  it into a unique reality in states of time. In my view, from the wish to recognize our inner, personal needs and also for the complex process of getting over traumas, we need precisely this presence of a time to offer a different state from “reality”. In this therapeutic reality, the individual can come to terms with problems of a mental origin, which cannot be treated by rational approach. By artistically reflecting through different variants and engagements with alternative reality, both the creator and the recipient can separate him or herself from the tension and anxiety of the reality. New experiences can enrich them and serve a transformative function, thereby enabling them to put their existence in a different light. This encounter with the unreal represented experience serves a significant role because people convey the semantic content of their acts and experiences through the creation of their (his)stories within this space of subjective time. To create your own reality, you need a certain understanding of the construction of your individual myth. A life stoy which is influenced by relationship to reality and temporality. In a dialogue and communication with the outside world, artistic expression has an indispensable role because  it provides new terrains where people, trauma and creation  interact with each other.
