One of Joseph Beuys’s most theatrical installations, Blitzschlag mit Lichtschein auf Hirsch (Lightning with Stag in Its Glare) articulates the German artist’s obsession with primal and elemental forces: the earth, animals, excrement, and death. The arrangement of elements in this mysterious grouping suggests a natural site, like a forest clearing in which the stag (represented by an ironing board resting on wooden “legs”), the excremental forms of the “primordial animals” (actually made by plunging tools into piles of clay), 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.
